Sydney Airport was officially the hottest place in the world as NSW battled an early start to summer.
The spring heatwave continuing to grip Sydney and much of eastern NSW saw travellers and workers at the airport swelter under 38.2 degrees just after midday.
This made Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport briefly not only the warmest place in Australia at the time, but also the world at 12.15pm, Weatherzone reported.
Other parts of Sydney reached well above 30s yesterday morning.
Penrith was a balmy 36.5 degrees at 11am and Richmond hit 34.7 degrees at 10am.
