Australia's new state will have continuous rainfall from June 6, which will help firefighters put out the fire and reduce the number of burning points to 42, australian.com reported. However, the smog caused by the fire shrouded over Melbourne, reducing the air quality.    

   It is reported that the rain pattern in new Australia will last from 4 days to 10 days after 6 days of heavy rain. It is expected that the rainfall in the north of new state will be up to 200 mm on the 7th and 50 mm in Sydney.         

   "Today, we are very happy to see the rain in most areas of Xinzhou, and the rain in the northern area is gratifying," NSW RFs said in a tweet on social media Monday. There are 42 fire spots still burning in Xinzhou, 17 of which have not been controlled. 1200 firefighters will continue to fight in the fire tonight. "            On the other hand, Melbourne was shrouded in severe haze on the morning of the 7th local time. These hazes come from fires in the East Gippsland region, and are a mixture of heavy fog and low clouds. It is reported that the return to Melbourne from the 6th is expected to continue for several days. Several wildfires continue to burn in East Gippsland and northeast Victoria.          

  "Although the haze over Melbourne is not as severe as it has been in recent weeks, vulnerable groups, including pregnant women, the elderly and children, are likely to be affected," said John Rees, spokesman for the environmental protection agency of Victoria A Melbourne Airport spokesman also said that on the morning of the 7th, an international flight and a domestic flight were rerouted due to haze.
