"Sydney’s CBD has recorded its highest temperature in nearly two years as the
east coast of NSW experiences its first heatwave of the summer, while fire
authorities in Tasmania and NSW battled bushfires.
Temperatures at Observatory Hill in the Sydney CBD reached 37.8C on Friday, the
highest since 26 January 2024, while Penrith Lakes in the city’s west hit
40.3C, the hottest day since 28 January this year.
The heatwave expected to peak on Saturday, when the temperature in the city is
forecast to reach 37C again. If this occurs it would be the first time since
November 2020 with consecutive 37C days in the CBD.
Penrith is forecast to reach 41C on Saturday which would be the the first time
since December 2023 with consecutive 40C days in the area.
Heatwave warnings remain in place for parts of the Northern Territory and
Queensland. Western Australia’s Pilbara, Kimberley and North Interior regions
have been upgraded to extreme heatwave warnings."
