Climate change means more floods, fires and heatwaves.

Climate scientists have warned Australia that it must pick up the pace on its climate adaptation efforts.

The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, described as a "code red" for humanity, has forecast global warming will likely hit 1.5 degrees Celsius by about 2035 if nothing changes.

Sydney's record 15-day spell of 20 degree winter days

For the first time in 163 years of records, Sydney just registered 15 consecutive winter days above 20ºC.

The temperature at Sydney's Observatory Hill weather station, located next to the Harbour Bridge, has climbed above 20ºC every day since Monday, August 9.

This makes today, August 23, the 15th day in a row to get this warm.

Prior to 2021, Sydney had only ever seen up to 10 consecutive winter days at or above 20ºC in records dating back to 1859.

This current warm spell has added five extra days to the previous record.
