Smoggy Posted January 4 (edited) 48.9 in Penrith is insane, you can prob add another 1c on to that in an unrecorded / area without an official weather station, I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere close to Penrith did get close to that 50c mark. I have spend the afternoon by the bay to the SE of Melbourne and it has been cool and around or below 20c most of the day, the wind even has an edge to it and not a day you feel like you would go for a dip. I think going for a top of 17c tomorrow! Been very blessed with the weather so far this family holiday, we have had hot days but don't seem to have been as extreme as elsewhere as we travel.

I have a rather sophisticated electronic thermometer that records max's and min's as well as current temp. 2 -3 degrees below Penrith is about right, considering our greater amsl elevation. 1 wendybr reacted to this Share this post Link to post

Smoggy Posted January 5 (edited) I was hoping marron or wanderboy would be around to explain the Syd 128 radar. For the last hour a stationary blob that seems to be spinning around in a circle with small central hole? Would be around where the ruined castle fire would be near Katoomba but that is under control and not burning big at the min...looks odd compared to the rest of the radar echos anyway.

Its prob actually the Green Wattle fire a little further south which is at watch and act with the smoke getting spun around! 1 Prydzopolis reacted to this Share this post Link to post
marron Posted January 5 Yeah I don't know. Green Wattle looked scary from here yesterday. When I first saw it I checked th ed app and there was a call oUT to kings table land (near Wentworth falls) and I thought that was it. What I can tell you is here was my view on new years And about the same time today 1 Prydzopolis reacted to this Share this post Link to post

Might be the part of green wattle that's near Lake Burragorang, named Erskine Creek Fire, and is threatening the mid mountains townships? 1 Prydzopolis reacted to this Share this post Link to post
Wanderboy Posted January 5 Yep, all one and the same. The Green Wattle fire started first. The other two have been ember or lightning started fires. They are now all starting to join and become one. Quite frightening really, but that's what they are. I've tried to copy and paste a pic of the fire area, but not working. Here's a link I hope that works...... https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/fire-information/fires-near-me 2 wendybr and Prydzopolis reacted to this Share this post Link to post
