Sydney is set for an unusually hot start to spring, with temperatures forecast to reach 33C while snow is expected in southern New South Wales.
Temperatures across eastern Australia are expected to rise early in September, with Brisbane and Sydney facing potentially record warmth. In Sydney, maximum temperatures during the first days of the month are forecast to match the city’s midsummer average of 26.4C.
That would make it the warmest start to spring since the Observatory Hill weather station opened in 1858. At the same time, colder conditions are expected farther south, where snow is forecast in southern New South Wales.
Greater Sydney is under a total fire ban. Hot and windy weather has increased the region’s fire danger, adding to the risks from the early spring heat.
