Severe and extreme heatwaves have claimed more lives than any other natural hazard in Australia.
Not only older people and the very young are at risk—extreme heatwaves can affect anyone’s health.
Over the next few days, severe heatwave conditions will continue across parts of Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and far north New South Wales.
