The unrelenting hot, dry weather shows no sign of changing this week with temperatures to hit the high 30s this weekend.
Cobar’s third month straight without significant rainfall is taking its toll, with local farmers being forced to bring in feed for stock and consider destocking their properties.
Temperatures in Cobar were closer to average last week, however this week should heat up again.
A top of 34 degrees is forecast today with sunny conditions, four degrees above the expected March average.
Tomorrow should also reach 34 with a sunny day, while Friday is heading for a top of 36 degrees after a low of 18.
Saturday is forecast to be a hot and sunny 38 degrees with zero chance of rainfall, and we can expect a warm night only dropping to 24 degrees before a high of 39 on Sunday.
Monday should also be warm and sunny reaching 36 degrees.
