Heatwaves this week - look out for the vulnerable (www.bom.gov.au)

Perhaps this isn't news for people on this page but please speak to others about looking in on vulnerable people who may be seriously impacted by excessive heat conditions like the elderly, people with various types of disabilities and of course the very young. Leave water out for wildlife in shallow dishes and ensure dogs don't get burnt paws on hot pavements. Now it's also the time to encourage / demand that your local councils plant plenty of street trees to keep temperatures down. It's an investment for everyone's future.

I saved a short video from the BoM but it doesn't show here. This has happened in previous posts but I forgot to ask then.

@eyekaytee@aussie.zone might know more about posting videos. I've actually never experimented with it on here. Ikt has been experimenting a little these last few weeks. That or @lodion@aussie.zone might be able to help.

yeah which video ? I can try and link it here

It was just our Bureau of Meteorology doing the forecast for the whole continent, so it's not an exciting video but see if you can make it work. Thank you. https://www.bom.gov.au/video/severe-weather-update-widespread-severe-heatwave-this-week
