Sydney and parts of New South Wales faced unusually high temperatures over the weekend, reaching up to 35C in the outer west and 32C in the city. This spike, significantly above the September average, was followed by a rapid drop in temperatures by about 10C on Monday due to a cool change from the southeast.
Watch for the upcoming weather patterns as cooler temperatures and potential rain may influence fire risk levels across New South Wales. Residents should stay updated on local fire warnings, especially with the looming El Niño, which could impact summer conditions.
