Heat Waves. ( Farenheit )
The highest reading on the official
records at the Weather Bureau is
127deg., which occurred at Bourke
on January 17, 1877, and again 125
deg. in January, 1909.
In February, 1892, Balranald re-
corded 125deg. ; in January, 1896,
Brewarrina 123: December, 1879,
Coonabarabran 125.6 ; Deniliquin
121.1 in January, 1878 ; and Euston
124.8 in December, 1897. With these
extremes of past years in mind, the
recent conditions during which the
highest were : — Jerry's Plains, 118
deg. ; Pilliga, 117 Bourke, Bre-
warrina, Narrabri, each 116; and
Collarenebri, Moree, Walgett, Coon-
amble, each with 115deg., are ob-
viously far from being records in the
history of heat in New South Wales.
But it is not usual for such a vast
area (as was the case during the past
week) to be affected at the same time.
For then the isotherms enclosing read-
ings of 100deg. and over almost sur-
rounded the whole of Australia. A
notable exception was Sydney, al-
though it must be admitted that even
here, with the protecting influence
of sea breezes and frequent southerly
changes, the weather was trying and
sultry at times. The highest reading
was 90.4 deg., which occurred with a
sharp veering of the wind to north-
west, for a minute or two, as if to
make manifest the proximity of the
heat.
Sydney, like the rest of N.S.W.,
however, is not without its heat
waves, some of which are memorable,
perhaps owing to their infrequency.
In January, 1896, 108.5 degrees was
recorded, and on December 31, 1904
(New Year's Day), 107.5deg. was
registered.
