SYDNEY'S city centre was hotter than Bourke in the northwest of the state yesterday as decades-old heat records tumbled across NSW, stung by a stubborn mass of heated air moving from the centre of the country. The city recorded its hottest day since records were kept as the temperature hit 46C.
The previous record, struck in 1939, was 45.3C, but just after 3pm yesterday the official measurement at Sydney's inner-city Observatory Hill hit 45.8C and Sydney Airport registered 46.4C.
