@smallcombe2 @HeatHealth_USYD In your element there.

There’s much confusion in the public discourse about effects of #humidity

RELATIVE humidity is usually reported, but ABSOLUTE humidity determines #sweat #evaporation & thus #heat stress risk

What’s the difference? See below. Pls excuse limited drawing skills!

☀️ @sydney_uni Dr Timothy English and co-authors explore ways to assists the socially vulnerable with the extreme heat. Based on the best available evidence, a pilot project involves installing Sydney's first mobile cooling hubs around warmer locations.

It sure is hot out there!

Researchers @HeatHealth_USYD are leading the way in developing evidence-based low-cost ways to keep cool and safe in a #heatwave ☀️

They will soon trial the "Heat Watch" app which gives users personalised advice.

Another demonstration⁩ of the importance of evidence-based extreme #heat policies that are specifically tailored for a given sport. If WBGT is used, the evidence for specific thresholds and accompanying risk-reduction measures must be scrutinized https://t.co/lf9mNvOaCr

[Global Heat Health Information Network @heathealth_info]

🆕 We've partnered with @google to bring important #heathealth information to millions around the world!

Now, for users in around 200 countries, Google's #heat warnings will also display tips for staying cool and healthy.

Glen Innes just registered Australia's lowest temperature so far this year. It was also the country’s lowest July temperature outside the Alps since 2019.

More details (and more stats from this morning) here: https://t.co/LJZRVzdElX

Air temperature anomalies have pushed more than 20ºC above average over parts of Antarctica this week, with temps reaching near 0ºC at the coast. This is remarkably warm for the depths of winter in total darkness.

Infants and young children are especially vulnerable to heat.

Here's a simple way to help keep them safe:

🛑Never cover a stroller with dry fabric in hot weather - it can add ≈4°C

🟢 Instead, combine a moist cover and portable fan to cool by ≈5°C
