Parts of the North-West Coast will be subjected to moderate to severe heatwave conditions over the next three days.
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued an severe heatwave warning for the Circular Head region for Monday and Tuesday, with a low intensity heatwave warning for the rest of the North-West Coast and most of Tasmania, with Strahan and Queenstown expected to reach 28 degrees with possible thunderstorms on Wednesday.
Smithton and Railton are expected to reach 27 degrees on Monday, with Sheffield expecting a top of 26.
The bureau says most of the Coast can expect temperatures in the mid to high twenties, with overnight minimums in the mid-teens, before conditions start to ease on Wednesday.
The bureau says heatwaves can be dangerous for many people, especially older people, babies, children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, people with medical conditions and people who are unwell.
It’s asking people to seek a place to keep cool, such as your home, a library, community centre or shopping centre.
Close your windows and draw blinds, curtains or awnings early in the day to keep the heat out of your home.
And, if available, use fans or air-conditioners to keep cool
