Weather Score #

Heat Seeker Score is a composite score designed for those who crave hot, sunny weather with minimal rainfall. It prioritizes high temperatures and abundant sunshine.

Perfect for sun worshippers, beach lovers, and those seeking warm, dry climates for outdoor activities and relaxation.

Formula optimized for hot weather enthusiasts who prefer temperatures above 25°C (77°F) with maximum sun exposure and minimal precipitation.

Key factors in the calculation:

High temperatures: Favors locations with warm to hot daily highs
Abundant sunshine: Rewards areas with maximum daylight hours
Low precipitation: Penalizes frequent rain and wet conditions
Warm nights: Considers comfortable evening temperatures

Temperatures #

Brisbane and Gold Coast consistently have the warmest temperatures, remaining within the comfort zone throughout the year
Canberra experiences the coldest temperatures, dropping into the discomfort zone during winter months (May-Sep)
Perth stands out with its high maximum temperatures in January and February, exceeding 30°C, while Melbourne, Cranbourne and Adelaide have biggest temperature amplitude during the year
Coastal cities like Sydney, Central Coast, and Wollongong have milder, more stable temperatures compared to inland cities.
