sandra in hot & smoky Sydney

Sydney temperature, measured at Observatory Hill on the harbour, was 21.1 at midnight & 37 at noon (40 mins ago)

Penrith, 60 km west of the CBD was 21.5 at midnight & 39 at noon.

Forecasts for today - Sydney 41, Penrith 45 & only 33 at Sydney best known beach Bondi.

Greater Sydney facing oppressive heatwave, extreme smoke, fire danger I'm not far from the harbour so am "only" expecting 41, but my place is cool as long as I stay near the fan.
