Australia’s ‘vulnerable’ Sydney faces hotter days rising seas

This year is “increasingly likely” to be the hottest year on record, the European Union’s climate monitor said this month.
Extreme heat is already one of the biggest drivers of weather-related hospitalisations in Australia, national health data shows.
Heat accounted for 7,104 injury hospitalisations and 293 deaths between 2012 and 2022.
General practitioner Kate Wylie said the heat has also been linked to an increased number of heart attacks, incidents of domestic violence and suicidal ideation cases.
