Between 1 December 2010 and 1 March 2022, the Department of Health (the department) operated the Heat Health Alert system each year through monitoring forecast temperatures around the state by weather forecast district and issuing Heat Health Alerts. You can read more about this system here. Due to the alignment of the department’s system to the Bureau of Meteorology’s National Heatwave Service from the 2022-23 summer onwards, the dataset linked below provides Heat Health Alert data up to March 2022. Heat Health Alerts and Heatwave Warnings use different triggers so the data from each of the two systems are not comparable.
