Australia’s eastern states are in for sweltering weather over the long weekend, with footy fans expected to sweat through record temperatures.
The sizzling weather will begin to settle into the east from Friday, as a mass of broiling hot air from Western Australia makes its way south where it will stick around until Wednesday at least, according to Sky News meteorologist Bradlyn Oakes.“Part of this is helped by the upper atmosphere pattern; we’ve got a lot of hot air pulling in and you can see it out there, stretching from the northwest down toward the south east, keeping things very warm for the next few days ahead.
“Parts of western Sydney are forecast to reach around 36 degrees on Sunday October 1 and 37 to 38 degrees on Tuesday,” WeatherZone states.
