Sydneysiders woke up to a smokey but calm morning with two infernos under control but it could get worse

Fire danger will increase this afternoon as 37C heat, 90kmh winds and dry air create 'catastrophic' conditions around Sydney - as thousands on the mid-north coast are told it is too late to leave their homes.
There are more than 50 blazes in each of New South Wales and Queensland with up to 20,000 firefighters trying stop them spreading as the Army prepares to evacuate residents by helicopter if their lives are in danger.
Sydneysiders woke up to a smoky but calm morning with two infernos - one in the Hawkesbury and another in the Blue Mountains - under control.
But fire bosses warned against complacency and said the fires are likely to spread throughout the day, potentially threatening 100,000 homes around the Harbour City.
Between 1pm and 2.30pm today the number of fires under emergency status in mid-north NSW rapidly increased from five to ten as firefighters brace for 'really long night' when winds pick up after dark.
'The reality is conditions will simply continue to get worse and deteriorate over the coming hours,' said Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons.
