00:00Summer memories in the making.
00:05It's amazing.
00:07But with the heat comes the crowds,
00:10stretching Lifesavers to their limits.
00:12Since the school holidays commenced,
00:14there's been over three million people
00:16visiting the NSW coastline,
00:18and that's up almost a million on last year.
00:21In NSW, there were more than 30 rescues yesterday.
00:25In Victoria, Lifesavers pulled over 140 people
00:29from the water.
00:31Most had been caught in rips.
00:33In my 20 years-plus with this organisation,
00:35I don't remember a day where in Victoria
00:37we've performed that many rescues in a single day.
00:40Melbourne reached the peak of its heatwave today.
00:43Some suburbs topped 40 degrees.
00:46Oh, my God, it's so hot.
00:48Don't know if I'm going to have icy-cold ice cream.
00:51The intense heat will shift up to NSW on Monday.
00:55Pond Eye has been packed,
00:57and the temperature is set to soar even higher
00:59in Sydney's west tomorrow.
01:01Temperatures are expected to reach 39 in Penrith,
01:0437 in Parramatta.
01:08We're expecting that cool change
01:10to bring a fairly gusty southerly change
01:12to the south coast on Monday afternoon.
01:14It should reach Sydney in the evening,
01:16probably around 9pm.
01:18Bringing much-needed refreshment after a stifling few days.
