In Sydney, the temperature reached 34.2 degrees Celsius
Large parts of it Australia are experiencing today “unusual” spring heat, as announced by the country’s meteorological service, predicting that record temperatures may be recorded tomorrow.
In Sydney, the capital of Australia’s most populous state, New South Wales, the temperature reached 34.2 degrees Celsius at Kingford Smith Airport – 12 degrees above the September average, according to weather service data.
These high temperatures come after the weather service reported this week that the indicators for El Nino weather phenomenon have strengthened and this is likely to develop between September and November, creating hotter and drier conditions in Australia.
The weather service said the “early hot spell” in many parts of the country was “very unusual for September”.
“These temperatures will intensify from Sunday to Tuesday,” the service said via Facebook, with temperatures 8 to 16 degrees Celsius above average.
“From Sunday to Thursday, record day and night temperatures for the month of September are expected across inland areas of South Australia, New South Wales and north-east Victoria.”
El Nino can cause extreme weather, from wildfires to cyclones, and prolonged drought, with Australian authorities already warning of an increased fire risk during this year’s southern hemisphere summer.
