Sydney records hottest November night as heatwave sweeps city

Pretty much all the predictions of the IPCC reports are being born out - records of extreme weather events falling each year - extremes becoming the norm.

Most worrying - these events are still being reported mostly as isolated events - not reflecting the seriousness of climate change and where we are heading..

25.3 over night, seriously unpleasant. Makes it difficult to sleep. Personally would find that unbearable, but then I am someone who has the window open to some degree even in winter.

That sky looks like it is on fire. Good bit of photography though.

Most summer nights in Tokyo are at least that hot and extremely humid. It was a shock for me when I first moved here because I come from a place where the air cools down once the sun goes down.

I guess this is new because of the fires last year but most countries have a weather service that includes historic data. Record highs and record lows are broken every day.
