Hotter day forecast despite Canberra storm relief
A thundery system brushed Canberra ending a string of heat days. The city logged a 94 degree maximum, 11 degrees above the monthly average, at 2.30pm as temperatures eased after storms around 9pm. Light winds with a peak gust near 29 knots accompanied the day, while scattered storms formed west of the city and moved over the ranges by 7pm. Fire danger was rated moderate to high in forests and the forecast called for another very warm day with possible storms. Across Victoria, Ouyen Jeparit and Benalla tops reached 106 degrees, with several centres recording century highs and the Country Fire Authority warning of drying conditions and urging fire precautions. The hot spell extended to Sydney and other state towns reporting extreme heat as authorities monitor fire risk.
