New South Wales
Significant Weather Media Release
Issued at 1622 on Friday the 13th of October 2006
Unprecedented heat, but with relief in sight
Sydney is in the grip of a hot spell, unprecedented in October and rare in any
month.
Temperatures in Sydney City today climbed to 36.7°C [98F], the 6th highest value for
October and some 15 degrees above the average for this time of year. Even hotter
conditions are possible on Saturday. Two October days in a row with temperatures
this high have never been recorded in close to 150 years of record. It is rare
for this to occur at any time of the year.
The hot and dry weather will lead to extreme fire conditions on Saturday.
Relief is in sight with a much cooler and gusty southerly change expected on
Saturday evening. Maximum temperatures on Sunday and Monday will be back to
around 20°C [68F] with a shower or two.
The Bureau of Meteorology advises people to take care in this early season heat.
Going to be a warm night. Total fire ban for Saturday. And it's never comforting when the bush fire chief mentions your area as one of the main areas of concern for the summer.
