Today, large portions of eastern Australia are expected to experience high temperatures reaching up to 40 degrees. This intense heat is predicted to last throughout the weekend, causing concern for residents in the affected areas. The state of Queensland is currently facing its first heatwave of the season, while Sydney has implemented a total fire ban for the day.
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, both Sydney and Brisbane can expect temperatures to rise above 30 degrees in the coming hours. In an interview with Today, senior meteorologist Dean Narramore shared that the hottest temperatures will be felt in inland Queensland, with some areas experiencing highs in the late 30s to early 40s. Even the usually cooler south-east Queensland will see temperatures reaching 33 to 34 degrees in Brisbane.
The bureau has recently updated its heatwave warning for the state, advising residents to prepare for extreme conditions that will persist until at least Sunday. While temperatures are expected to slightly decrease in the south-eastern regions, inland areas will continue to face scorching heat into next week.
In addition to the intense heat, strong westerly winds have prompted a total fire ban in the Greater Sydney region. The New South Wales Far North Coast has also been issued a heatwave warning by the bureau. On a more positive note, Aussies can look forward to a rare phenomenon lighting up their skies in the near future.
As for Sydney, the hot conditions are expected to cool down tonight as a cold front moves in. Tomorrow, temperatures in the city are predicted to drop to a much more comfortable 21 degrees.
