Due to a forecasted 38 degrees Celsius tomorrow at around 11am, Australia Day In Sydney‘s 10 Kilometre Wheelchair Race will begin 30 minutes earlier at 8:30am AEDT.
Sun protection is recommended between 8:50am & 5:20pm AEDT as the Ultraviolet Index is predicted to reach 13 (Extreme). Remember, just because there is clouds, rain or wind, does not mean you will not suffer sunburn so slip on a shirt, slop on SPF30+ sunscreen, slap on a hat, seek shade & slide on some sunglasses during the times above.
Also, head to Fun In The Sun, hosted by Surf Life Saving NSW at the Tallawoladah Lawns outside the Museum of Contemporary Art, to beat the heat. That event will have abundant shade, complimentary sunscreen & a water station.
Sydney is also in a severe heatwave, which peaks on the afternoon of Australia Day. Severe heatwaves can be dangerous for many people especially older people, babies, children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, people with medical conditions & people who are unwell so seek a place to keep cool such as the nearby Customs House or MetCentre & if available, use fans or air-conditioners.
If you cannot attend in person to watch the 10 Kilometre Wheelchair Race, you need a Fox/Kayo Sports subscription to watch the race. The broadcast will also start 30 minutes earlier, at 8:15am, due to the change in schedule.
The Regatta & Harbour Splash are still scheduled for their originally advertised times (1:30pm & 8am* respectively)
*Registrations close 15 minutes prior.
