Sports Heat Tool helps people plan sport and physical activity in hot conditions worldwide.

Select an age profile, sport and location to view the current sport heat-risk level and a 7-day forecast. The app combines location-specific weather data with sport-specific activity profiles to provide practical recommendations for hydration, clothing, rest breaks, active cooling and when activity should be suspended.

The tool is based on the Sports Medicine Australia Extreme Heat Risk and Response Guidelines and methodology developed by the Heat and Health Research Centre at The University of Sydney.

Sports Heat Tool provides general information for education and planning only. It does not provide medical advice. If you feel unwell, suspect heat illness or have a medical emergency, stop activity and seek medical help immediately.
