Australians are at risk of enduring rolling blackouts this week, amid a heatwave sweeping through NSW and unexpected coal outages across the state. A severe heatwave warning has been issued by the Bureau of Meteorology for parts of eastern NSW over the next few days – with the mercury tipped to soar into the high 30s in some regions. Some areas reached a maximum temperature of 37C on Monday, with Richmond and Perth in Sydney's west also clocking in at 35C. (Photo by Brook Mitchell/Getty Images)
