00:00It's not just the heat that's causing concern today, but also the low humidity and windy conditions.
00:08It's a combination we never want to see.
00:10Temperatures are forecast to sit in the high 30s to low 40s.
00:14And extreme fire danger ratings have been issued in seven districts across central and eastern parts of the state,
00:20including the Murraylands, the Mount Lofty Ranges and the York and Eyre Peninsulas.
00:24The SA Country Fire Service is asking people to delay any high risk activities, including conducting burn offs and using power tools or machinery.
00:33They say that their volunteer firefighters will be on high alert today.
00:37And they are also warning the public that as people start to travel throughout the state for the festive season,
00:42that fire weather can vary dramatically between region to region.
00:46So stay across the conditions and the latest information.
00:49Here where I am in Adelaide, it's forecast to hit a top of 39 and it's also day two of the ashes test.
00:55Now, yesterday we saw a record crowd go through the gates, about 56,300 in the stands at Adelaide Oval.
01:02We've already seen thousands stream past us into the gates.
01:06So for those attending, make sure you stay cool, stay hydrated as we go through this sweltering day.
01:12Yes, it is.
01:14I will see you.
01:15Thank you so much.
