‘“Those in the coastal areas are expected to have a cool reprieve of average temperatures, before a 30 degrees day on Tuesday and possibly Wednesday,” he said.

“However, with the high humidity it is going to feel hotter than the thermometer.”

Mr McInosh said the smoke haze would continue to blanket the Coast as fires continue to burn in Lower Beechmont and the wind continuously changing direction,

“The smoke will be an issue for those with respiratory conditions and it is advised those who are affected to limit exercise and keep their windows shut over the next couple of days,” he said.
