Extreme heat wave in Australia Highlights The Urgency to Make Environment Sustainable

Australia’s extreme heat wave shows the need for environment sustainability in energy, meteorology and medical sectors to meet increasing temperatures and energy demands.

Some parts around Australia experiencing the hottest for four summers. Then, a heat wave in spring sends air temperatures close up to 40 degrees. The severe heat wave warning is issued for NSW, Queensland and ACT Dense assessment by Bureau of Meteorology reveals that extreme weather is going to be in a given area of western Sydney and northern Queensland.

The heat wave speaks volumes about having to do with environmental sustainability after rising temperatures and the related risks. Temperatures in Sydney and Penrith have been much warmer than normal, with Friday expected to reach 39 degrees at Richmond, or 12 degrees above the November average maximum, straining hospital resources and putting a spotlight on urban vulnerability to extreme weather.

Besides that, this weather causes direct effects on the health of the public as it increases electricity demand. Load shedding planned at coal-fired plants in New South Wales mean that the grid will be suffering extreme ceiling pressures as Australians crank up their air-cons to beat the heat. Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has already warned that low energy reserves can bring blackouts in the event of continuity.

Besides, bad weather strongly supports the importance of environment sustainability with respect to energy and meteorology. Policies and innovations that work must be there to adapt to climates that are becoming more and more unpredictable. The ongoing heat wave incident says that such conditions can be expected, making cleaner energy transitions that much more urgent in the face of that much increased focus on upgrading medical infrastructure.
