But the winds did bring problems. Police reported that power lines had been brought down at Frenchs Forest and trees had fallen across roads at Alexandria and Menangle. The mercury at Sydney's official weather station at Observatory Hill stopped rising at 4.24pm just short of the previous record, 45.3 degrees, registered on January 14, 1939. The Bureau of Meteorology's senior forecaster, Bob Moore, said a report on average temperatures last year to be published tomorrow showed Sydney was enduring a hot spell, and nobody knew when it would end. It was part of a warming trend that had become evident since 1988, Mr Moore said. "We just had our second equal hottest year on record. The year before, 2003, was our hottest year ever, but the year just finished recorded similar mean and maximum temperatures," he said. "It's clear evidence for global warming … you'd think today's record temperature was more of the same." The bureau's temperature gauge at Sydney Airport did reach a record, 45.1 degrees. Mr Moore said it might have been hotter at Kingsford Smith than in January 1939, but the bureau did not start take readings at the airport until later that year. Coming after New Year's Eve celebrations, yesterday's heat drove many people in Sydney to take refuge indoors. However, not so lucky were 37 cleaners who took to Sydney's streets in the early morning to remove 29 tonnes of rubbish left by New Year's Eve revellers. They had finished by 10am and probably arrived home before the thousands who flocked to the beaches only to be driven off by the midday sun. Swimming pools across Sydney were inundated with people seeking relief from the heat, some even queuing at the Sydney International Aquatic Centre, Homebush Bay, for up to 30 minutes. EnergyAustralia said air-conditioning use yesterday was the highest ever for a weekend, with Sydney demanding 4400 megawatts by evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
