Fires in KNP

[Richprins]

The burn happened...both days...article in today's paper, but just the same press release!

Certainly not the 30-30-30 conditions of last time...

Methinks they should have waited for that, but are now caught in a web of media and promises made etc...

But

[Richprins]

It has been hot and dry here over more than a month now.

While there is abundant water in the veld, the vegetation will dry out faster than normal, IMO, regarding the South.

I think unplanned burns will start early...

oups... hope not too much

[Bushcraft]

The burns have started already according to the "latest sightings" app

[Lisbeth]

Hopefully they will be able to keep them under control and not sleep through the whole thing switching off the phone

[nan]

and not "braai" a lot of animals

[Richprins]

The weather is now getting dangerous...extreme temps, wind, and no hope of rain yet...

Bone-dry, including Transfrontier Park, according to weather maps!

Rivers still ok though, and dams?

[nan]

right, I'm a bit frightened about the fire in Kgalagadi
already have an important one in a camp... and another one who run everywhere in the dunes


and of course all the fires... everywhere

[Richprins]

Pretoriuskop area burnt heavily already...one of my kids was there last weekend.
