Sydney has recorded its hottest July beating the previous mark set in 2018.
By mid-afternoon on Monday, each of the eastern state capital cities had topped their forecasts by a degree or more. Sydney’s 23.5C was enough to have elevated July’s average maximum above the previous record of 19.89C set in 2018, Ben Domensino, a senior Weatherzone meteorologist said.
