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 Brisbane, Australia
Brisbane's subtropical climate can produce humid summer heat, strong solar exposure and rapid changes around storms. Compare the sun-exposed WBGT estimate with the hourly heat index, and use local observations for the exact activity site.
Forecasts describe outdoor conditions, not an individual's medical risk. Workload, duration, shade, clothing, acclimatization and health can change the appropriate decision.
