Sydney has had its hottest November on record with maximum temperatures 2.5 degrees above average, the Weather Channel says.

Only two cold fronts have crossed southeastern Australia in the entire month, the channel's meteorologist Tom Saunders says.

Sydney also recorded its hottest spring since 1988, he said in a statement on Monday.

And it's been the city's driest November since 1962, with only 13.4mm of rain compared to the November average of 83.5mm.
