What is the temperature over 40 degrees in many parts of Australia?
On the 6th, the reporter personally felt the heat wave in Melbourne. At noon, the temperature soared to 42 degrees Celsius. This is the hottest day in Melbourne in two years, and the last time was 20 16 1.03. The sun is too hot for people to open their eyes. Locals said that this Saturday, there were fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the road than usual. It is reported that on the way from Melbourne to Sydney, a section of the road was a bit sticky. The police reminded everyone to avoid this section to avoid congestion.
On the 7th, the temperature in Melbourne dropped by 20 degrees. Locals are used to Melbourne's changeable climate, but outsiders are at a loss and shivering with cold. Some pedestrians in the street put on coats, and some even put on thin down jackets.
In contrast, Sydney is not so lucky. From 6th to 7th, the heat wave raged for two consecutive days. The suburbs west of Sydney are particularly serious, with many areas exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, and the temperature in Penris is as high as 45 degrees Celsius. Some people also took photos of the thermometer in Hurstville public primary school in southern Sydney exceeding 50 degrees Celsius.
The influence of high temperature is also constantly emerging. There are many mountain fires. On the 7th, the fire threat factor in Greater Sydney was upgraded to "very serious" level, while other parts of NSW remained at "very high" level. The health department of NSW reminded that high temperature and windless weather led to an increase in ozone pollution, so people need to drink more water and reduce outdoor activities.
