View the current warnings for New South Wales
Forecast issued at 4:14 pm EDT on Saturday 23 January 2021.
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the Tasman Sea extends a ridge to the northern New South Wales coast, while a weak low pressure trough lies over the state's south and west. This pattern is drawing hot air from central Australia across New South Wales, leading to heatwave conditions in many districts. The high is expected to remain dominant in the region until Tuesday, when it looks set to weaken and allow a stronger trough to move through southern and central areas, bringing gradual respite from the heat during the second half of the week.
Forecast for the rest of Saturday
Clear. Light winds.
