The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has issued alerts for NSW and Queensland warning that the above-average temperatures and subsequent power demand would cause "tight" supply when hundreds of thousands of people turn on air conditioners. AEMO says the peak period for power use in NSW will be between 3pm and 8pm on November 27, as people return home from work and school and output from the state's large network of rooftop solar panels declines. The NSW Government is encouraging residents to make "small changes" to their electricity use between 3-8pm on November 27 such as closing blinds, doors and windows to keep out the heat, and delaying the use of non-essential appliances such as dishwashers and pool pumps. Temperatures on November 27 are, according to the Bureau of the Meteorology (BOM), six to 10 degrees above average. A severe heatwave warning is valid till November 29 for the Mid-North Coast, Hunter, Metropolitan, Illawarra and South Coast districts. Senior meteorologist Dean Narramore told ACM on November 27 temperatures hit the mid to high 30s "pretty much anywhere away from the coast". "That is thanks to the warm northerly winds brought down from northern and central Australia," he said. The good news is heatwaves conditions will ease by Friday. "Tomorrow we are going to see more cloud cover and some showers and storm moving to eastern parts of NSW," he said. "That will draw temperatures into the low thirties and then we will see even cooler conditions on Friday as more widespread cloud and rain move in and cooler winds." Further west, inland NSW, Victoria and Tasmanian communities battle widespread rain and thunderstorms. "There could be severe thunderstorms in parts of Victoria and inland NSW today, that will bring damaging wind, heavy rainfall and could lead to flash flooding," Mr Narramore said. "The thunderstorms could produce some large hail as well." Northern Australia, particularly the Northern Territory and the Kimberly are currently seeing "widespread rain and thunderstorm activity" which will move into northern parts of Queensland too. The BOM climate outlook for December to February has predicted warmer than average days and nights across nearly the entire continent, with unusually high rainfall also likely across much of NSW and Queensland.","isAccessibleForFree":false}</script><script

electricity is the message by the NSW government as heatwave conditions reach their peak this afternoon. The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has issued alerts for NSW and Queensland warning that the above-average temperatures and subsequent power demand would cause \"tight\" supply when hundreds of thousands of people turn on air conditioners. AEMO says the peak period for power use in NSW will be between 3pm and 8pm on November 27, as people return home from work and school and output from the state's large network of rooftop solar panels declines. The NSW Government is encouraging residents to make \"small changes\" to their electricity use between 3-8pm on November 27 such as closing blinds, doors and windows to keep out the heat, and delaying the use of non-essential appliances such as dishwashers and pool pumps. Temperatures on November 27 are, according to the Bureau of the Meteorology (BOM), six to 10 degrees above average. A severe heatwave warning is valid till November 29 for the Mid-North Coast, Hunter, Metropolitan, Illawarra and South Coast districts. Senior meteorologist Dean Narramore told ACM on November 27 temperatures hit the mid to high 30s \"pretty much anywhere away from the coast\". \"That is thanks to the warm northerly winds brought down from northern and central Australia,\" he said. The good news is heatwaves conditions will ease by Friday. \"Tomorrow we are going to see more cloud cover and some showers and storm moving to eastern parts of NSW,\" he said. \"That will draw temperatures into the low thirties and then we will see even cooler conditions on Friday as more widespread cloud and rain move in and cooler winds.\" Further west, inland NSW, Victoria and Tasmanian communities battle widespread rain and thunderstorms. \"There could be severe thunderstorms in parts of Victoria and inland NSW today, that will bring damaging wind, heavy rainfall and could lead to flash flooding,\" Mr Narramore said. \"The thunderstorms could produce some large hail as well.\" Northern Australia, particularly the Northern Territory and the Kimberly are currently seeing \"widespread rain and thunderstorm activity\" which will move into northern parts of Queensland too. The BOM climate outlook for December to February has predicted warmer than average days and nights across nearly the entire continent, with unusually high rainfall also likely across much of NSW and Queensland."])</script><script>self.__next_f.push([1,"10:[\"$\",\"$L18\",null,{\"context\":{\"conf\":{\"brightcoveAccountId\":\"3879528182001\",\"brightcovePlayerId\":\"MvzwPMFVC\",\"brightcoveAdfreePlayerId\":\"acJAzgBUQ\",\"chartbeatDomain\":\"queanbeyanage.com.au\",\"chartbeatUid\":66019,\"dailymotionPlayerId\":\"x7206\",\"dailymotionPlayerIdWithAutoplayDisabled\":\"xi6v4\",\"dailymotionDefaultPlayerlistId\":\"\",\"dailymotionPlayerIdVideoShorts\":\"xjtu3\",\"dailymotionSyndicationKey\":\"790147\",\"dailymotionPipEnabledMobile\":false,\"dailymotionPipEnabledDesktop\":false,\"defaultCommentFeature\":\"\",\"domain\":\"www.queanbeyanage.com.au\",\"facebookUrl\":\"https://www.facebook.com/QueanbeyanAge\",\"gaDomain1\":\".queanbeyanagechronicle.com.au\",\"gaDomain2\":\".queanbeyanagechronicle.com.au\",\"gaDomain3\":\".queanbeyanage.com.au\",\"gaId1\":\"UA-16730067-163\",\"gaId2\":\"UA-18935883-1\",\"gaId3\":\"UA-61683903-1\",\"googleAdManagerNetworkIdentifier\":\"21666581298\",\"googleSearchId\":\"012527284968046999840:gigjea9y0yw\",\"indexExchangeId\":\"186432-278594325649166\",\"instagramUsername\":\"\",\"youtubeUrl\":\"\",\"location\":\"Queanbeyan,
