Weather
influences our day-to-day lives and can have a big impact on our health and wellbeing.
Heat and humidity affect our outdoor activities, our commute to school or work and can be detrimental to vulnerable populations and threatened wildlife.
The
climate in Greater Geelong is changing. The effects of climate change, local
geography, population growth and rapid urbanisation will see temperatures continue
to rise.
The
City is working to improve our understanding of local weather and environmental
changes through the collection of microclimate data. Weather sensors have been
positioned in locations across the municipality to collect temperature and humidity
levels at the hyper-local level.
This new data will help to
monitor changes in real-time and lead to better understanding and action across
sectors. The data is open and accessible via the Geelong Data Exchange.
