Sydney and much of NSW has sweltered and been choked by dust and smoke, with little sign of rain relief before the next bouts of heat arrive

A late burst of hot, dry westerly winds helped push the fire danger ratings at Sydney Airport and Richmond past the "catastrophic" level, senior Weatherzone meteorologist Brett Dutschke said.Mr Dutschke said a remarkable feature of Tuesday's heat was the scale of catastrophic fire danger.

The expected cool change was moving up the coast and forecasters expect it to bring temperatures tumbling by 10 degrees or more, as winds shift to the south. Kurnell in Sydney's south recorded wind gusts reaching 70 kilometres per hour ahead of the change. Winds had swung around to the south at Wattamolla in the Royal National Park, reaching 87 km/h by 6.46pm.

How many parents who have to go to work will have trouble finding someone to supervise the kids. Why are they safer at home? Doesn't make sense to me.
