Much of western Australia has been baking in heat wave conditions with Perth recording a top temperature on Saturday afternoon of 43.3C
The BoM forecast for Sunday is for another very hot and sunny morning with a top temperature for Perth of 41C, with 25 km/h winds increasing to 45km/h before a southwesterly change.
More than 60 firefighters and a number of helicopters spent Saturday battling a fire that burned through about 30 hectares in the Perth's west.
The fire which was contained but not controlled was moving northwest through Jolimont towards the University of Western Australia (UWA) Research Park and producing lots of smoke, the DFES warned on Saturday night.
In the areas subject to Sunday's catastrophe fire warning, it says the conditions are "the worst conditions for a bush or grass fire", adding that if a fire takes hold "it will be extremely difficult to control and will take significant firefighting resources and cooler conditions to bring it under control".
The department is warning people put their survival first and leave the night before or early in the day.
