It has been a windy day across much of New South Wales today and this afternoon with wind speeds approaching 100km/h in some locations. Mount Boyce in the Blue Mountains had wind gusts peak at 95km/h which came through just after 12:30pm this afternoon. Sydney too had a wild and windy afternoon with Sydney Airport and Sydney Harbour recording wind gusts of 61 km/h. The strong winds in Sydney were not just for coastal areas this time around with Richmond, Penrith, Horsley Park, Badgerys Creek and Camden seeing wind gusts of more than 50km/h. Albion Park, just south of Wollongong was also very windy this afternoon with winds reaching 74 km/h while further south, Nowra saw wind gusts as high as 82km/h. Inland areas of NSW were not saved from the strong winds either. Goulburn saw a maximum wind gust of 67km/h, Moss Vale 80 km/h and Cooma 74km/h. The high peaks once again could not hide from the very strong winds. Thredbo saw 93 km/h and Perisher Valley 82km/h. A trough crossing the state combined with a low over the Tasman Sea is causing the strong winds. At present, a severe weather warning remains in place for the higher parts of the Southern Tablelands, Illawarra and the Central Tablelands with damaging wind gusts up to 90 km/h possible for the remainder of today. Winds are set to ease tomorrow across the state as a high pressure system moves in.
