It is important that our community plans ahead and prepares for extreme heat, so we can all stay safe.

As such, City of Ryde invited community to complete the Urban Heat Survey 2025-2026, so we could better understand how prepared our community is to manage very hot days and heatwaves, and how we can best support our community.

Hot days are defined as days of 35+ degrees temperatures. Heatwaves are defined as three or more days in a row when both daytime and night-time temperatures are unusually high.
