Sydney revellers are being warned to take care on New Year's Eve as high temperatures and smoke haze throughout the day give way to a "blustery" southerly change in the evening, ahead of the city's scheduled fireworks displays.
The average maximum for New Year's Eve currently sits at 25.8 degrees since Observatory Hill first recorded data in 1858, while the hottest ever was in 1904, when the maximum temperature reached 41.9 degrees. The change, which could also be accompanied by thunderstorms, will "possibly make it very windy for the 9pm [fireworks] and still quite blustery for midnight," Ms Reid said; although "not much rainfall" is predicted.
Cancel tonight's fireworks simple.
I rarely wish people ill fortune, but I profoundly hope that it's so dusty & smoky in Sydney tonight that no-one can see their bloody fireworks. Maybe a few more people, including the organisers, the NSW govt. & international viewers, will get the message. bushfirecrisis

New Year's Eve fireworks to go ahead around Australia despite high fire dangerFireworks displays in Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne are all scheduled to go ahead as planned, while Canberra has called off the celebrations due to high fire risk. Well done Canberra. 🚨👍👍🚒🚒🚒 This is shocking, dangerous, and disrespectful to the suffering of others in these bushfires. The people, the animals, the habitat. From Victoria, I will not be watching the screening, or retweeting any 'Happy New Year' Greetings from Australia, this year. So sad. With all these fires and another life lost, people are happy with this going ahead Our state is burning and people are mourning. Absolutely disgusting. Worrying about their own pockets as usual.

Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks to go ahead, some suburbs cancelledThe RFS has forecast 'severe' fire danger for greater Sydney on Tuesday and declared a total fire ban for the region. Operators wishing to undertake fireworks displays in a total fire ban must apply for an exemption. Don’t play with fire kiddies Sydney fireworks will go ahead no matter what. The optics of the cancellation would show this government’s lack of action and lack of policy on climate change to the world. It would shame them no end. Our ScottFromMarketing won’t let that happen full stop And if something goes pair shaped?
