I Just heard on the TV that the current “official” Sydney Temperature was 45.2c and they said, the “official”, Sydney highest ever temperature is 45.3C.
According to the “Weatherzone” site, the current temperature at Sydney Airport is 45.5c.

So, I hope wherever you are today, hopefully you are in a nice air conditioned building AND THE POWER DOESN'T GET CUT OFF!
I repost this here because it is more than relevant. Its a shame they took the temperature next to such a small concrete and bitchumen block.We al know that they used to have big massive major concrete airports in the past. A bit of like for like please. But going hand in hand with deleting past records in order to create new records, creating new stations in order to create instant records, then I suppose we can let this through as well. Keeps the cult happy.  Much of those same buildings have been there, for decades and that station does seem to be in a fairly open area.
Many other centres, in & around Sydney, also had record Temps!
Usually, records are very minor increments. In the case of Temperatures something like 0.1c would be usual, BUT now we are seeing new records going up by 0.5c & 1.0c.
Its called UHI Urban Heat Island effect. The heat from the roads, the building and especially at an airport, all ooz off the heat from the day and for a long period. Grass land would feel cooler immediately the sun goes away. City take hours. Try standing on a grass field compared to standing in the middle of the street (feeling the heat around the body, not burn at feet). The difference is the same difference you will get anywhere in a city compared to a grass land which is what it was mostly like in older times. The more concrete per square inch/mile/klm, the more UHI effect. So, are you trying to tell me that much of those same Sydney buildings, haven't been there, for decades? Isn't that where the reading is taken, at the big park, at Observation Hill, right near the cooling waters? Well if you are talking decades, then what with the use of the word RECORD or HIGHEST. Because the last 7-8 decades are when most movement has taken place?
Co2, Temperatures & Population gain. Recor/highest since movement, population/urbanisation. Not long is it. No, just a very small blip, which should tell us that unless we pay attention, we will go the same way as untold other extinct species!
