Heat Risk in Milsons Passage, NSW: 2026 Assessment

Milsons Passage in New South Wales faces location-specific extreme heat risk. The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) reports that Australia's average temperature has increased by approximately 1.5 °C since 1910, with the frequency of extreme heat days rising across most regions.

The urban heat island (UHI) effect can make built-up areas of Milsons Passage warmer than surrounding rural areas, particularly on summer nights. Dark roof materials, limited tree canopy cover, and heat-absorbing surfaces contribute to localised heat stress that varies by property.

CSIRO climate projections indicate that under a high-emissions scenario, many parts of New South Wales could experience a doubling in the number of days over 35 °C by 2050. For Milsons Passage, this means cooling costs and occupant comfort will become increasingly important considerations.
