Hot weather in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide this weekend with temperatures to reach as high as 39C
===============================================================================================

Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide will bake this weekend as temperatures across the south-east cities are forecast to climb into the high 30s.

On Saturday, Adelaide could reach a high of 39C and Melbourne 36C, the Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Miriam Bradbury said. Sydney is forecast to reach a high of 32C, with moderate fire danger.

The heat is expected to stick around into the evening with the bureau predicting record-breaking March minimum temperatures overnight, especially across northern parts of Victoria including Shepparton and Albury-Wodonga.

“It is quite late in the season to see the heat (but) not unprecedented,” senior forecaster Jonathan How said.
