While temperatures are set to cool in South Australia and Victoria on Sunday, NSW's eastern and northeastern regions will sweat through another day. Sydney and chunks of regional NSW have sweltered through the hottest November night on record, with no respite likely until late afternoon. Overnight November minimum records also fell in Camden, Newcastle, western NSW's Bourke and Cobar and Ulladulla on the state's south coast. Temperatures across the Hunter are forecast to hit 43C, while much of northeastern NSW will break the 40-degree barrier. The RFS has issued a total fire ban for most of eastern and northeastern NSW for Sunday, including Greater Sydney, the Illawarra, Hunter and north coast.
