Northern Territory

Nt Small Bushfires July 2019 — Clear skies over Australia on July 16, 2019, gave the NOAA-20 polar-orbiting satellite an unobstructed view of smoke plumes from bushfires across the Northern Territory. The bushfire season started early across parts of northern Australia, which experts with the Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre attribute to record warmth and below-average rainfall. – NOAA / NESDIS, Public domain – Wikimedia Commons
