...Sydney's break (click here) from late-spring heat will be short-lived with slow moving high-pressure systems likely to steer inland warmth into Australia's south-east this week and next.

The city's maximum will climb from an expected 25 degrees on Tuesday to 29 degrees on Wednesday although western suburbs, without the benefit of cooling sea breezes, will likely warm to the mid-30s.

Thursday, though, will see temperatures ranging from 34 degrees in the city to 38 in the west as a hotter air mass sweeps in, said Tristan Meyers, a meteorologist with Weatherzone....

While models give varying estimates of the timing and strength of an expected southerly change, Thursday will likely fall well short of the 40.9 degrees - Sydney's second-hottest November day - set last Friday, Mr Meyers said. The city's average November top is 23.6 degrees....

Realize the change in temperature across Australia is in Celsius and not Fahrenheit.

2015 is providing record setting temperature across Australia.

As a side note: Australia's military in training soldiers in Iraq ended less than a month ago. All Australian soldiers are home without involvement in Afghanistan either.
