The Australian city of Sydney is experiencing its hottest day on record, with temperatures reaching nearly 46C.
澳大利亚城市悉尼正经历有记录以来最炎热的一天,气温接近46。
Thousands of people have been escaping the heat on Sydneys Bondi Beach
A temperature of 45.8C was recorded at Observatory Hill in the city at 14:55 local time.
Some areas in the wider Sydney region were even hotter, with the town of Penrith, to the west, registering a temperature of 46.5C.
Firefighters are still battling dozens of wildfires sparked by the intense heat in New South Wales and Victoria.
The small town of Licola in eastern Victoria is reported to have been cut off by a 44,500-hectare fire, as its sole access road is blocked.
Officials said dozens of people had been evacuated but 10 locals were still there.?
Rob Gilder, a sheep farmer, said he and two employees had found themselves trapped on their farm and were "in grave danger".
He told the Herald Sun they were taking steps to protect their house and farm equipment, but that he was concerned for his livestock, and that the situation could worsen.
"I am very worried. But I am hopeful that one of those helicopters will come and get us but I think the smoke might beat them."
Australia faces wildfires each year as temperatures climb. In February 2009, on what has come to be known as Black Saturday, 173 people were killed in fires in the state of Victoria.
