Bureau helps us understand heatwaves


Help in understanding heatwaves comes from the Bureau of Meteorology with a new pilot heatwave forecast for Australia.

The Heatwave Forecast is a set of graphical maps of heatwaves, severe heatwaves and extreme heatwaves for the current day extending out for the next four days.

The pilot site explains what a heatwave is, what its severity is based on, its intensity and what a pilot heatwave forecast will look like.
