Over in South Australia they are expecting none of the rainfall that parts of the east will get this week.

But senior forecaster Jon Fischer said conditions would still be “more benign” over the coming week.

Temperatures will peak on Kangaroo Island, where fires are still burning, on Monday and in the southern parts of the state on Tuesday.

The island also hasn’t had much rain in the last change that went through.

Cooler temperatures will reduce fire danger ratings throughout the state this week but there will still be “moderate to fresh winds” that will influence fire activity.

“With a bit of wind about this week at times, we certainly expect fires to continue,” Fischer says. “It’s going to be a dry week.”
