Sydney’s Overnight Sweat-Fest Officially The Hottest January Night Recorded

This one goes out to every Sydney-sider still shaking off the powdery white sweat-halos from their pillows.

The Bureau Of Meteorology has confirmed that last night was the hottest January night on record, topping every single other one since weather boffins started keeping track 159 years ago.

At its lowest point, the temperature in central Sydney dipped to a balmy 26.4 degrees at 11pm, which we can all agree is a bit too bloody warm:

If you felt the temperature rising as the night went on, don’t worry: you weren’t in the midst of some fever dream. 

Well, given the circumstances, you may have been, but the temperature did actually climb to 31 degrees after midnight.

This fact was met with horror by anybody with a working thermoregulatory system:

oh it’s only 28 degrees, and it will only get cooler once the sun goes down, lovely. now, to check the forecast and confirm that known fact pic.twitter.com/nWqYRjlQKP
