Heat<\/span> Waves.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
The highest reading on the official records at the Weather Bureau is 127deg., which occurred at Bourke on January 17, 1877, and again 125 deg. in January, 1909.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
In February, 1892, Balranald re-corded 125deg. ; in January, 1896, Brewarrina 123: December, 1879, Coonabarabran 125.6 ; Deniliquin 121.1 in January, 1878 ; and Euston 124.8 in December, 1897.<\/div>\n
With these extremes of past years in mind, the recent conditions during which the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
highest were : \u2014 Jerry’s Plains, 118 deg. ; Pilliga, 117 Bourke, Brewarrina, Narrabri, each 116; and Collarenebri, Moree, Walgett, Coonamble, each with 115deg., are obviously far from being records in the history of heat<\/span> in New South Wales.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But it is not usual for such a vast area (as was the case during the past week) to be affected at the same time. For then the isotherms enclosing readings of 100deg. and over almost sur-<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
rounded the whole of Australia.<\/div>\n
A notable exception was Sydney, although it must be admitted that even here, with the protecting influence of sea breezes and frequent southerly changes, the weather was trying and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
sultry at times.<\/div>\n
The highest reading was 90.4 deg., which occurred with a sharp veering of the wind to north-<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
west, for a minute or two, as if to make manifest the proximity of the heat.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Sydney, like the rest of N.S.W., however, is not without its heat waves,<\/span> some of which are memorable, perhaps owing to their infrequency.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In January, 1896, 108.5 degrees was recorded, and on December 31, 1904 (New Year’s Day), 107.5deg. was registered.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
