At that point, Sydney Airport was in the low 46's. and Sydney Observatory was about 46. At 5pm tonight, as I was driving into the Central Coast, it was still measuring 44 degrees according to my car.

Rod, when we walked out of Castle Towers to the under cover car it was like stepping into a blast furnace. The car exterior thermometer (reasonably accurate) was saying 45.5°C. Driving through the car park it dropped to 45°. Out onto Old Castle Hill Rd and back to 45.5°. Down Showground Rd and up to 46°.
At home it peaked at 48°C at 15:37. It was 40° or more from 10:30 until 18:20. 44° or more from 12:00 to 16:30.
It's now 19:05 and you almost need a jacket. Down to 38.7°.
