Is Big Weather (And How to Survive It) coming back?

Big Weather (And How to Survive It) ended on October 27, 2020, on ABC.

This three-part factual series was filmed during Australia's Black Summer of 2019-20 and focused on the impacts of extreme weather events. It showcased the experiences of emergency services, first responders, and local communities as they faced unprecedented heatwaves, devastating wildfires, and subsequent severe storms and flash floods. The series aimed to inform viewers about the changing climate and how people can better prepare for such natural disasters.

The show was hosted by Craig Reucassel, who guided viewers through the intense summer that set temperature records and led to Australia's worst fire season on record. Over 20 million hectares of forest burned, an area twice the size of Belgium, highlighting the severity of the crisis. The series provided an on-the-ground perspective of the emergency response efforts and the resilience of affected communities.
