HEAT WAVE IN SYDNEY. 16 Mar 1915. “This month has so far proved the hottest March experienced in Sydney. To-day was a decided scorcher. The thermometer went to 100.7 degrees in the city, while in the western suburbs higher readings still were recorded. Parramatta had 104 degrees.” That’s 40 degrees Celsius in March. Imagine how “unprecedented” that would be if it happened now.
