Maximum temperatures will reach into the mid-to-high 30s, with some areas reaching into the 40s. For some areas, this heat may be close to record breaking, or at least record breaking for this late in March. On Sunday, Bankstown is predicted to reach 41c (record 41.6c) and Sydney 38c (record 39.6c).
