A bushfire burning in Adelaide’s south has been downgraded.

The CFS downgraded the warning just after 2.20pm, and issued ‘Advice - Threat is Reduced”, for Panorama near Pritchard Grove northwest of Blackwood in the Mount Lofty Ranges.

“Smoke will reduce visibility in the area and there is a risk of falling trees and branches.”

Around 1.15pm, a warning message was issued for Panorama near Blackwood and Eden Hills in the Mount Lofty Ranges as the fire burned out of control.

The alert urged locals to monitor local conditions, as CFS crews respond to the fire.

The hot weather coupled with gusty winds placed the state on high alert with an extreme fire danger alert in place on Monday.

Adelaide is set to top of 35C on Monday after the mercury only dropped to a low of 28.1C overnight.

The extreme fire danger rating has been forecast for the Mid North, Mount Lofty Ranges, Riverland, Murraylands, Upper South East and Lower South East on Monday, as the CFS declares a total fire ban.
