Sydney, located on the southeast coast of Australia, is the capital of New South Wales and the largest city in Australia. The coordinates of the city center are 33 51' south latitude and 151 12' east longitude.

The Greater Sydney Metropolitan Area covers an area of about 12,368.193 square kilometers, the urban area of Sydney is about 1,687 square kilometers, and the population is about 5.03 million (in 2016). The Greater Sydney Metropolitan Area consists of the urban area of Sydney and 33 suburbs. There are 248,000 Chinese, accounting for 6.2% of Sydney's population, but they have become the fourth largest ethnic group in Sydney, second only to the third Irish (360,000) immigrants.

During 2012-2013, Sydney's regional GDP reached 337.5 billion US dollars, and it was known as the "new york" in the southern hemisphere. Sydney has been rated as one of the most livable cities in the world by UN-HABITAT for many years in a row, and ranked as the seventh first-tier city in the world by GaWC in 2018.

Sydney has a highly developed financial industry, manufacturing industry and tourism. Among them, the headquarters of the world's top multinational companies and domestic and foreign financial institutions are rooted in Sydney. At the same time, Sydney is also home to the Australian Stock Exchange, Reserve Bank of Australia and Twentieth Century Fox Studio in the United States.

Sydney is also the host city of many important international sports events, including the 1938 Commonwealth Games, the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and the 2003 World Cup rugby match.

Sydney has a subtropical humid climate with annual rainfall. The weather in Sydney is regulated by the adjacent ocean, so the inland western city is slightly more continental. The warmest month is January, and the temperature in coastal areas is 18.6℃-25.8℃, with an average of 14.6 days in the year above 30℃.

The highest temperature on land is 45.3℃, which was recorded on January 14th, 1939 after the 4-day nationwide heat wave ended. It is slightly cool in summer, and the temperature in coastal areas rarely drops below 5℃. The coldest month is July, and the average extreme value is 8.0℃-16.2℃. The lowest minimum on land is 2.1℃.

The rainfall in summer and winter is quite even. Due to the adjustment of the east wind, the rainfall in the first half of the year is slightly higher. The average annual rainfall is about 1217 mm, which is moderate and has little change, with an average of 138 days of rainfall in the middle of the year.

Although Sydney will not encounter cyclones or major earthquakes, the El Niñ o phenomenon or the El Niñ o Southern Oscillation is affecting the weather conditions in Sydney: on the one hand, there are droughts and forest fires, on the other hand, there are storms and floods, which are combined with the oscillation.

There have been forest fires in many areas adjacent to forests in Sydney, especially in spring and summer. Sydney is also vulnerable to rare hailstorms and storms.
