A broiling mass of record-breaking hot air dubbed a “heat engine” has developed in Western Australia. Now it’s coming for Sydney.
A vast swath of hot air broiling over north Western Australia has started to move south, bringing a 35-degree scorcher on Sunday that could make for the hottest NRL grand final conditions in history.
Perth also hit a new September high of 34.3 degrees on Wednesday while temperatures inland surpassed 40.“The trough that’s associated with that heat is gradually working its way east, so by the time it gets to us, it will coincide with the major sporting events that we have going on,” Helen Reid, a meteorologist at the Bureau of Meteorology, said.
The Panthers will be playing under significantly hotter circumstances than when they won on last year’s grand final day, which reached a high of just 19 degrees. Ahead of searing temperatures of Sunday, the Rural Fire Service expects extreme fire danger for Sydney, the Hunter, the Illawarra, the Far South Coast and the north-western NSW.
