The data proves what everyone is feeling — Sydney is currently sweating through a prolonged spell of abnormal humidity.
Moisture levels during recent weeks have even rivalled Queensland's southern tropics in the middle of the wet season, making Sydney's already hot March feel several degrees warmer.
And while a southerly change will bring temporary relief tomorrow, a near-record warm Tasman Sea should maintain warm and muggy weather well into autumn — a trend becoming increasingly frequent in recent years as the sub-tropical climate zone shifts south.

Explore the latest developments concerning Erasmus carves through.
Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus sparked a social media storm during IND vs NAM T20 World Cup 2026 as fans drew striking comparisons between his bowling action and that of Pakistan’s mystery spinner, Usman Tariq. Erasmus, who derailed India's start by dismissing both Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma, displayed an unconventional, jerky delivery stride that fans linked with Tariq’s controversial 'pause-and-release' style. Fans on platform X (formerly Twitter) began labelling him the 'Usman Tariq of Namibia', referring to the Pakistani spinner for a similar arm-bend and staggered run-up. The 'Pause and Deliver' Debate: Why Usman Tariq’s Bowling Action Is Sparking Controversy.

China’s Xiaohui Li celebrated a maiden Grand Slam singles title on Saturday after defeating Diede de Groot in straight sets to claim the women’s wheelchair final.
Li made light work of her highly decorated Dutch opponent, who returned to Kia Arena after undergoing hip surgery last year, taking just 50 minutes to triumph 6-1- 6-2.
"I'm very happy that I'm retired because they would kick my arse."
Alcott, of course, is being modest. The Victorian won an astonishing 23 grand slam titles in quad wheelchair tennis, 15 of them in singles. He can play.

Explore the latest developments concerning Tillman double sends.
Malik Tillman scored twice, and Alejandro Grimaldo added a third as Bayer Leverkusen cruised to a 3-0 victory against already-eliminated Villarreal to secure a seeded spot in the Champions League play-off round.
Goals: 1-0 Tillman 12’, 2-0 Tillman 35’ (assist: Schick), 3-0 Grimaldo 57’ (assist: Vázquez)
Leverkusen headed into their final Champions League league phase fixture knowing that victory would guarantee them a place in the play-offs. Sitting 20th in the standings before kick-off, Kasper Hjulmand's side were determined to secure their progression against a Villarreal team that had collected just one point from their previous seven matches. The hosts entered the contest with confidence after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga at the weekend, while the Spanish visitors, despite occupying fourth spot in La Liga, arrived after a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid.
GOAL takes a look at how American soccer's stars fared on a chaotic final day of the group stage
With every Champions League match kicking off at the same time, chaos was inevitable – and it delivered, especially for the Americans involved in the final night of the group stage. Eighteen matches unfolded simultaneously, with 32 of the 36 teams still alive and fighting for spots in the knockout round.
Every member of the U.S. men's national team active in the competition entered Wednesday with hope for advancing, but there wouldn't be room for everyone. While many of the USMNT's top stars will now look towards the upcoming knockout rounds, some saw their Champions League journeys end before the calendar hits February, and for one American in particular, it ended in the most shocking of ways.

The Portland Trail Blazers snatched their second win in two days, holding off the San Antonio Spurs 115-110 in crunch time on Saturday night.
Even with superstar Victor Wembanyama out with a knee injury, these Spurs are no slouches — evidenced by how they handled the Blazers without Wembanyama back in November. Portland, still shorthanded with its own injuries, avenged that loss on Saturday with a big-time team effort.
The Blazers led by as many as 15 early in the second quarter, but the Spurs came back to take their first lead early in the third quarter. Then Portland built up another 13-point lead in the fourth quarter, before hitting enough clutch buckets late to hold off a dangerous Spurs comeback attempt.
The San Antonio Spurs (25-9) hit the court against the Portland Trail Blazers (15-20) on January 3, 2026 on KUNP and FDSSW. Saturday's game between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers sees the Spurs as a strong, 7.5-point favorite. The point total for the game is set at 234.5.
