Australia-wide, extreme heat events have become more frequent since the mid-20th century, and this trend is consistent with climate projections for regions including Western Australia. CSIRO data indicates continued warming is likely through 2050 under all emissions scenarios.

Higher temperatures increase cooling demand, which raises electricity costs for properties without efficient insulation or passive design features. ClimateNest provides energy cost projections based on your property's specific exposure to extreme heat days in King Leopold Ranges.

Effective heat mitigation includes light-coloured roofing (cool roofs), ceiling and wall insulation, double-glazed windows, eaves and external shading, cross-ventilation design, and increasing tree canopy and vegetation around the property. These measures reduce indoor temperatures and cooling costs.

Temperature varies across suburbs due to factors like elevation, distance from the coast, vegetation cover, and urban density. Suburbs with more tree canopy, higher elevation, or coastal breezes tend to experience lower extreme heat. ClimateNest compares heat risk across Western Australia suburbs.
