I use to live in the Blue Mountains in Hazelbrook. I was convinced that the Emu Plains/Penrith area is one of the hottest places. No sea breeze and with a mountain the air is trapped. Wowsers 44.4deg is roasting. Can only imagine what the temps are like during the hot season of late Jan/Feb.

Was about 30 out here when I went to bed a bit after 12.
