“Heatwaves that have been deadly in the past will become much more likely and, in some cases, annual occurrence in parts - most of - Australia even in a 2C world,” Harvard climate scientist and study author Lucas Vargas Zeppetello said.
Extreme heat weather can not only be dangerous to your health but can be fatal as well. Heatwaves can cause droughts and wildfires and can lead to health issues (dehydration, kidney diseases, heat stroke), increased energy demand and water shortages.
Get advanced warning from a reliable source.
With Early Warning Network’s new Heatwave Alerts Service, a warning can be issued up to three days in advance of the heatwave starting. This allows time for agencies and the public to take protective actions. The Heatwave Warning is issued for a state or territory when severe or extreme heat waves are expected to affect at least 10% of a weather district.
Rather than having to waste time on sourcing, then validating if the alert applies to you, we do all the hard work for you only sending the alert when your region is affected. We also remove all the re-issued warnings from being sent to you, removing the confusion with it, making the alert process clear and easy. Simply let us know which region(s) you would like to receive alerts for, plus the name and contact details for those within your organisation to receive them and we take care of the rest.
If you need to know about Heatwave alerts across a region or number of regions across Australia, our Regional Alerts service is your solution.
