It's strange, Sydney itself never really gets too hot too often, out West and South West it gets to 40 at least a dozen times a year, yet in Melbourne, the city is just as hot as the outlying suburbs.
The Melbourne heat is moving north still Sydney itself is looking at 40+ temps by Saturday, which does not bode well for those living in Penrith, Liverpool or Campbelltown.
I really feel for the Adelaidians here, the dry heat is unbearable. Perth is possibly the best city for heat, at least you get a breeze every afternoon to cool you down a bit if you cannot make it to a beach.
