We reached 42.3c in Sydney today with a very srong NW wind, terrible conditions! This is the third highest temp ever recorded at Observatory Hill.
You could feel the moisture being sucked out of everything. The heat of the wind was something, it took your breath away and was hard to breath in!
It is 10:15pm and is still 35c!!!!!. The southerly change isn't due through until early morning so is going to be a VERY warm night indeed.
Plenty of bush fires burning across the state tonight and the change of wind direction as the front comes through will be very dangerous indeed.
Temps will be pushing 40c by Friday and Saturday again, in fact Saturday could be worse bush fire day than today.
