View the current warnings for New South Wales
Forecast issued at 5:15 am EDT on Wednesday 29 January 2020.
Weather Situation
A trough of low pressure extends from western Queensland into inland New South Wales, while a high pressure system extends across southeast Australia. This high is expected to move over the Tasman Sea later today, where it will strengthen in coming days as the inland trough weakens. Towards the end of the week, another cold front will approach New South Wales, crossing the state on the weekend. Heatwave conditions will return to many areas ahead of this front, as northerly winds draw hot air across New South Wales.
Forecast for the rest of Wednesday
Hot. Partly cloudy. Light winds becoming easterly 20 to 30 km/h in the late afternoon. Daytime maximum temperatures 30 to 37.
