Central West of New South Wales was reporting plenty of 48C, Sydney
Airport 45C. With zero humidity its actually not too bad as long as you
keep drinking water - about a litre an hour if you are outside.
Zero humidity also brings the BAD fires though - some TV footage
of the area North of Sydney showing swirling 30 metre high fire storms
just running across roads and paddocks.
Its now 20C in Sydney (6:30am Monday) and raining - 25C difference.
