'Get ready for some heat!' the post read.

'We are seeing heatwave conditions developing across southern and central districts for the weekend and into early next week.'

Saturday will be 30C in the Harbour City, on Sunday the temperature will get to 33C and on Monday it will soar to 34C.

However, it will be far hotter in western Sydney away from the cooling sea breeze - climbing more than six degrees.

Penrith will hit 36C on Friday, 37C on Saturday, 39C on Sunday and Monday, and 40C for Australia Day, and Camden to the south just a degree cooler.

Areas in inland Australia, such as in the Riverina, will hit 45 degrees on some days during the heatwave.  

The nation's capital, Canberra, will hit 37C on Saturday and 38C on Sunday.   

The heat follows periods of cloudy weather and showers.  

Here is how hot it will get around Australia by Monday - with worse to come on Tuesday

'We are seeing a gradual return of northerly to northwesterly winds transporting warm air to Sydney and sunny forecasts, pushing up the maximum temperatures,' the Bureau's Meteorologist Melody Sturm told Daily Mail Australia.

'Friday there is a slight chance of a shower or a thunderstorm. The weekend is expected to be very warm to hot and mostly sunny, although a chance of a shower could return for Monday. 

'With the heat we will be seeing severe heatwave conditions for Sydney this weekend.'

The temperatures in NSW will be some of the hottest since early December.

While the water will be the cool place to be over the weekend, beachgoers are being reminded to stay Covid safe and follow the directions of lifeguards. 

'If you're planning on heading down... please remember to stay one towel length apart from other beachgoers, and don't forget to swim between the flags,' Waverley Council, which takes in Bondi Beach, said. 

It will even hotter further south down the coast, where Bega will reach 42C on Monday, 14 to 15 degrees above average.

In the Illawarra region, Nowra will reach 39C, which is 11C above average while further inland,  Bowral will hit 37 degrees.

Further inland, Albury, on the NSW/Victoria border is in for 40C on Saturday, 42C on Sunday and by Monday it is expected to reach as high as 43C.     

Melbourne is bracing for a high of 38C on Sunday as Victorian fire authorities are brace for a weekend of severe fire danger through northern parts of the state. 

Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp has warned Victorians to make sure their bushfire preparations are up to date.

He said Mildura will start to warm up on Thursday, while Sunday and Monday are set to be spike days.

'It will be a challenging weekend for us,' he said.

'There is every chance we will see total fire bans for Sunday and Monday... with fire danger ratings, particularly up in the north of the state, around 'severe'.

Authorities are also on high alert in South Australia, where severe bushfire conditions have been declared across six districts.

The warnings apply to the west coast, Eastern Eyre Peninsula, mid north, Mount Lofty Ranges, Yorke Peninsula and lower southeast, where total fire bans are in place. 

Adelaide is forecast to reach a top of 35C on Thursday with the mercury to climb into the low 40s in some regional centres.

'Where total fire bans have been declared, very hazardous fire weather conditions are predicted,' the CFS said.

'The CFS recommends that you implement your bushfire survival plan.'

The extreme conditions will spread further south over the weekend with Adelaide expecting 39C on Saturday and 41C on Sunday.

Elsewhere across Australia, conditions are returning to normal after a wet start to the year in Far North Queensland, where scattered showers and thunderstorms forecast in the coming days as the remains of Cyclone Kimi weakens.
