It's all new and shiny so here's the quick tour:
Major Town Forecasts
We are forecasting the same towns, but are offering additional data, more often. Major town forecasts are now updated twice daily, with seven-day forecasts of maximum HLI and four-day forecasts for accumulated heat load (AHLUs) and weather (temperature, relative humidity, black globe temperature, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall and pressure).
New things!
Katestone Environmental welcomes Brenda Lilley, a consulting meteorologist, to our forecasting team. Brenda worked as a weather forecaster for a number of years with the Austrlaian Bureau of Meteorology and is now keeping an eye on our weather with the specific aim of identifying potential high heat load events. See our new outlooks for more information:
Seven Day Forecasts: The seven-day outlooks will usually issued on Tuesdays and Fridays, with additional outlooks and amendments published
on an as-required basis. The outlooks will provide an overview of broad-scale weather developments during the week and indicate any impact that the developments may have on a regions HLI.
Seasonal Outlooks: Our meteorologist will interpret the Australian
Bureau of Meteorology's seasonal outlooks for you in terms of heat load.
