//The Australian city of Sydney is experiencing its hottest day on record, with temperatures reaching nearly 46C.



A temperature of 45.8C was recorded at Observatory Hill in the city at 14:55 local time (01:55 GMT).



Some areas in the wider Sydney region were even hotter, with the town of Penrith, to the west, registering a temperature of 46.5C.\\


45.8 c = 114.4 f


46.5 c = 115.7 f


Design conditions for Sydney are 90 f DB 73 WB



So I guess lots of buildings would have had very hot areas.
