NSW weather for Sat 5/2/11

Post by Ron »

Total fire ban Greater Hunter, Greater Sydney Region (includes Blue Mountains), Central Ranges & Monaro Alpine from midnight tonight.

The RFS says,
"Saturday will be very hot, dry and windy. This combination can effect fire behaviour and cause smaller fires to increase in size and intensity quite rapidly. The lower-than-average humidity and strong winds - and presence of very high temperatures - is of great concern.

After another very warm night tonight, temperatures in the lower Mountains will climb into the mid-40's and the upper Mountains will see mid-to-high-30's. West- to North-West winds will strengthen during the day. A late wind change is possible later on Saturday evening.

Saturday will be very hot across Sydney with temperatures into the forties in many suburbs with a very warm night to follow, but cloudy conditions on Sunday and a cooler southerly change during the afternoon will provide welcome relief from the heat, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

I'll be glad when tomorrow's over.

We peaked at 40 around 3pm & is now sitting at a comfortable 39 :lol:

I knew the forcast was for a stinker so the trees got watered around 8am, one euc & the callery pear are on the wilt, the big maple has a bit of wind burn and one of the wisteria will be gasping for water by the time I finally do around 7pm. Otherwise all are coping better than I am :shake:
