Still we, who live in the coastal suburbs of Sydney, are lucky as generally our maximum summer temperatures can be up to 15 degrees lower than our western suburbs counterparts who do not have the benefit of the ocean and harbour breezes that usually arise during the day. They didn't happen yesterday.
Elsewhere Australians have been sweltering in summer heatwaves. Thankfully although bush fires have been plentiful and many have the heartbreak of losing their homes so far there has been no great loss of life.
Today it's back to our sea breeze and a more manageable weather day for Sydney's coastal suburbs but the forecast for the weekend is looking ominous.
Dry heat is a bit unusual in Sydney? I have experienced it, but I don't think it is so common.
ReplyDeleteThat's correct Andrew, the prevailing sea breezes usually ensure a humid climate for Sydney but those hot occasional nor-westerlies can be killers.
ReplyDeleteWow. Hard to imagine heat like that. I have experienced it, in the California desert, but not where I live. We got close in the French heat wave of 2003.
ReplyDeletewcs, these temperatures are more regularly experienced in our southern cities of Melbourne and Adelaide and in Perth our western state capital city.
