Where these numbers come from
WeatherAPI supplies the forecast. HeatGuard calculates heat-index risk and models WBGT from forecast temperature, humidity and a daytime solar allowance. Modeled WBGT is not an on-site globe-thermometer reading.
Local planning context
Planning for heat in Adelaide, Australia
Adelaide can move rapidly into dry, extreme summer heat, while direct sun adds radiant load beyond the shaded air temperature. Compare the hourly estimate with South Australia's official thermal-comfort observations before sport or outdoor work.
Forecasts describe outdoor conditions, not an individual's medical risk. Workload, duration, shade, clothing, acclimatization and health can change the appropriate decision.
