Sydney weather: BOM forecasts 45C in parts of city as heatwave takes hold

Head back home and sit in the aircon," is the advice from the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS), with total fire bans in Greater Sydney and temperatures set to climb to 45 degrees Celsius in parts of the city today.
Today the temperatures are predicted to reach
45C in the central west and patches of the mid-north coast.
The NSW RFS also warned of a severe fire danger in the greater Sydney region and the Hunter.

"If someone sees a fire that is unattended, report it to Triple-0, don't assume someone else has reported that fire," NSW RFS Deputy Commissioner Rob Rogers said.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said the western centres of Penrith and Richmond were expected be the hottest areas but there would be no escape in the Harbour City's heatwave.
