Episode Details

Sydney's summer has expanded by 49 days since 1990, now lasting 125 days compared to 76 days three decades ago, according to Canadian research from the University of British Columbia. The study found Sydney is experiencing the largest increase among 10 global cities studied, with summers becoming more abrupt and extending at a rate of approximately 15 extra days per decade. The lengthening summer season is creating longer bushfire seasons, impacting hazard reduction burn schedules, and affecting agriculture, nature's seasonal patterns and everyday life planning.
