Sydney revellers are being warned to take care on New Year's Eve as high temperatures, smoke and dust are set to give way to a 'blustery' change ahead of the city's scheduled fireworks displays.
Sydney revellers are being warned to take care on New Year's Eve as high temperatures and smoke haze throughout the day give way to a "blustery" southerly change in the evening, ahead of the city's scheduled fireworks displays.
The average maximum for New Year's Eve currently sits at 25.8 degrees since Observatory Hill first recorded data in 1858, while the hottest ever was in 1904, when the maximum temperature reached 41.9 degrees. The change, which could also be accompanied by thunderstorms, will "possibly make it very windy for the 9pm [fireworks] and still quite blustery for midnight," Ms Reid said; although "not much rainfall" is predicted.
