Sydney is set to sizzle through its hottest day in more than two years, with temperatures forecast to reach 38C on Monday and authorities warning of increased health and fire risks in parts of New South Wales.

Temperatures will exceed 40C in some inland parts of the state, particularly in the north-west. Bourke is set for a maximum of 41C on Monday.
