The Harbour City is going through its longest spell of days below 30 degrees Celsius since the 1800s. ABC meteorologist Tom Saunders looks at why that is.
abc.net.au/news/sydney-in-longest-spell-below-30-degrees-in-140-years/101841982As most of southern Australia sweats under a prolonged heatwave, Sydney is on the verge of recording its longest spell of days below 30 degrees Celsius in 140 years.Sydney averages 15 days above 30C per yearWhile the weather has definitely at least resembled a version of summer since the pre-Christmas record cold spell, Tuesday's maximum of 26.
What makes this run even more irregular is in a global warming world the number of days where the temperature reaches 30C has been increasing during recent decades. The last day above 30C was February 21, but Sydney did not record one day last year above the Bureau of Meteorology's threshold for a "hot" day, which for non-tropical coastal regions is 32C.
The mystery of Sydney's missing heat is a similar riddle to the record wet in 2022. The answer is blowing in the wind.
