a couple of days back I woke at 4am & couldn't get back to sleep - so sent an email to a friend & checked the latest weather readings - 22.4C = 72F, feels like 27.2 = 81F, with 98% humidity. Sydney (aka The Big Smoke) gets humid in summer, unlike The Small Smoke where Jennie lives, she just gets dry heat.

FNQ gets heat + humidity & cyclones Emergency flood alerts issued for parts of Far North Queensland in the wake of ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper — as it happened

Sydney's forecast for Sunday was 35C = 95F, but we (aka the harbour area) only reached 28C = 82F, tho western Sydney is always higher. Strangely enough western Sydney (55km = 35 miles west) was about the same as coastal Sydney - One Of Life's Little Mysteries
