According to the Bureau of Meteorology, the mercury is set to reach 39 degrees in Warialda and Moree, while further south Tamworth is expected to max out at 37 degrees.

Strong westerly winds are also expected, with dust storms possible.

Seabreezes will keep conditions on the coast fractionally cooler, with Coffs Harbour expected to reach 31 degrees.
