Sooty rain fell down the east coast, from Sydney to Melbourne, with "torrential" rain reported in some parts of New South Wales (NSW).
Officials said temperatures would soar again by Friday.
They also said huge fires in Victoria and NSW could meet to create a larger "mega blaze".
"There is no room for complacency," NSW state Premier Gladys Berejiklian warned on Monday.
"This morning it is all about recovery, making sure people who have been displaced have somewhere safe."
Despite the respite, haze pollution remained dangerously high.
