How does weather change? All weather conditions result from different combinations of three factors: air temperature, air movement and the amount of water in the air. The sun influences all three.
Heatwaves
Heatwaves are weather hazards caused by extremely hot and humid days with very little air movement to help cool things down. These events are expected to become more frequent in Melbourne in the future. Heatwaves may not be as spectacular as floods or cyclones but they can cause deaths, especially among the elderly.
