Black Friday (1939) 2
Conditions
In the days preceding the fires, the state capital Melbourne experienced some of its hottest temperatures on record at the time: 43.8 °C (110.8 °F) on 8 January and 44.7 °C (112.5 °F) on 10 January. On 13 January, the day of the fires, temperatures reached 45.6 °C (114.1 °F), which stood as the hottest day officially recorded in Melbourne for the next 70 years. (Unofficial records show temperatures of around 47 °C (117 °F) were reported on the Black Thursday fires of 6 February 1851).[2]
The summer of 1938–39 had been hot and dry, and several fires had broken out. By early January, fires were burning in a number of locations across the state. Then, on Friday 13 January, a strong northerly wind hit the state, causing several of the fires to combine into one massive front. fiskars lawn mower black friday worx leaf mulcher black friday clear wave water softener delta kitchen faucet dewalt battery pack makital xt211 black friday rockwell jaw horse black friday dimplex electric stove black friday graco 3-in-1 car seat black friday motorola baby monitor black friday fisher price swing black friday
