At the height of the Grampians Bushfire on Friday the blaze was so large it was creating its own weather which included lightning strikes.

The Black Range fire has burnt just over 1395 hectares.

Friday's top of 42.6 degrees Celsius was Stawell's fourth consecutive day of maximums above 41 degrees.

More than 470 people registered at the Stawell relief centre at the Stawell Leisure Complex while it was open.
