Sydney recently experienced a significant heatwave driven by hot north-westerly winds sweeping in from the country’s interior, as reported by Weatherzone.

The intense heat began to ease when a southerly breeze started to flow up the coastline around 2 p.m., initially affecting Sydney’s southern suburbs and gradually moving northward.

This change in wind direction led to a dramatic temperature drop, with the mercury falling by over 10 degrees within an hour, reaching 23 degrees Celsius in Sydney.

The forecast predicts more showers across the city, with the possibility of thunderstorms later tonight.

A strong wind warning was also issued at 4 p.m. for certain areas, including parts of Sydney’s harbour and coastline.
