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 Darwin, Australia
Darwin's tropical conditions can combine persistent humidity, strong sun and limited overnight cooling. Use the hourly WBGT trend to plan exertion, and compare it with the Northern Territory's official thermal-comfort observations.
Forecasts describe outdoor conditions, not an individual's medical risk. Workload, duration, shade, clothing, acclimatization and health can change the appropriate decision.
