@Ben_Domensino Sydney tomorrow sub 20 %RH on a south easterly! It’s just being wrapped around from Vic? Pretty unusual? I’m not often looking at SE RH but I would have thought that’s very low?

Oodnadatta's final maximum temperature today was 38.5°C. This is more than 16°C above average for this time of year. It's also the highest winter temperature ever observed in South Australia, obliterating the previous record of 36.5°C from the same site on August 12, 1946.

This year's positive IOD just keeps getting stronger. 💪 The latest weekly IOD index value of +1.85ºC is only 0.3ºC below the peak of the record-challenging 2019 positive IOD event.

Due to stronger than forecast winds along the Far South Coast, Catastrophic fire danger is expected this afternoon. For your survival, avoid being in fire risk areas today. Stay up to date, review your bush fire survival plan and know what you will do if a fire threatens.

It's not even midday and Ulladulla is already having its hottest September day on record. 🥵 It had reached 32.6ºC by 11:40am, beating its old September record of 32.3ºC from 2017. Data for this site is available back to 1991.

Absurd early-spring heat is about to hit #Sydney. The city is forecast to see 5 consecutive days >28°C. This has never been recorded in September before, with records dating back to 1859!

The Bushfire Seasonal Outlook for Spring has been released by @AFACnews. Large areas of central and northern NSW are expected to see increased risk of fire this spring along with parts of the coast and ranges not affected by the 2019/20 fires. More details https://t.co/O4WJ8hmNty

@bencubby Tell me you know what to do with a swag?

I am very concerned about the overall pattern for tornado outbreaks this early spring as we finish March and into April. Long-range models show a pattern we see every 10 years or so - massive high amplitude storm system after storm system. Time is now to mentally and physically prepare for the coming weeks

@TransportforNSW appalling conditions on 199 bus in 35c heat Collaroy. Non operating air con with full bus. Many distressed elderly and children. My child with heat stress. Driver stopped multiple times for no apparent reason for 10 mins at time and refused to open doors for air.
