It was a rough night's sleep in the Hunter last night, with the temperature still in the mid 30's for much of the region at 9:30pm.
It didn't get much cooler through the night it didn't get much cooler than the low to mid 20's.
It wasn't just hot last night, yesterday saw record temperatures with Nobby's reaching it's hottest day in five years at 41.4 degrees and Williamtown hitting nearly 44 degrees.
We're in for another warm one today with Wallsend expected to swelter through another 42 degree day and Maitland is also in for another hot one with an expected 43 degrees.
With that, the Rural Fire Service (RFS) has declared another Total Fire Ban for the Greater Hunter today.
"That's due to forecast hot, dry and windy conditions expected through parts of those areas today. That means there are no fires in the open and obviously if you want to know further you can visit the RFS website and your best off spending those couples of minutes before we turn up to extinguish any fires you may have and an infringement notice is sent out," said James Morris from the RFS.
"There is still warmer conditions predicted for tomorrow however we will see a cooler change come through on Wednesday which will hopefully bring milder conditions across much of the state and hopefully a small amount of rain in that as well."
