Extremely hot and dry weather in 2019 created the worst drought and fire conditions in many decades. Overall environmental condition was the poorest since at least 2000 and below- average in all states and territories.

The national Environmental Condition Score was at its lowest since at least 2000, decreasing 2.3 points out of ten to a score of 0.8. Scores declined in all states and territories.

The poorest conditions occurred in NT, NSW and WA. In all cases this was due to dry and hot conditions. The largest decline occurred in WA. Relatively less adverse conditions prevailed in Queensland and Tasmania.
