Triggers for Code Red

  • Severe heatwave where the Excess Heat Factor is 1 to 3
  • Extreme heatwave where the Excess Heat Factor is above 3
Excess Heat Factor (EHF) is calculated using a formula which considers the minimum, maximum and average temperatures over a three day period. The State Emergency Service (SES) works closely with the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) to daily predict the EHF.
