## Resource

Sydney’s spring is turning scorching — hitting 33°C with midsummer heat arriving weeks early, fueled by a relentless north-westerly wind and a powerful El Niño. Fire bans are in place as dry, windy conditions spark extreme fire danger across greater Sydney, while Brisbane braces for similar swelter. Meanwhile, southern NSW sees snowfall — a bizarre contrast to the baking north. Experts warn this could be the hottest spring on record, with climate change and El Niño combining to create dangerous extremes across the continent.
