A total fire ban is in effect in New South Wales (NSW) due to hot and dry conditions, with the greater Sydney region and other areas of the state at "extreme" risk. Queensland also has small fires burning, but emergency warnings have been downgraded. In NSW, the ban applies to the Hunter region and extends to the border with Queensland. Temperatures in Penrith, Parramatta, and Liverpool will reach 31 degrees Celsius, while the city and Bondi Beach will see temperatures of 30 and 27 degrees respectively. Strong winds of up to 50km/h are expected, posing challenges for firefighters.
