Was Your Summer Hot and Dry? Check Your Area

This summer was very hot and dry for most people. There was a drought in many places. A drought means there is not enough rain. There were also heatwaves. A heatwave is many hot days in a row.

But not every place was the same. Some areas had more rain than others. Some areas were hotter than others. The weather was different in different postcodes. A postcode is a code for your address.

Now there is a new tool online. You can use your postcode to check the weather in your area. It shows the temperature and the rainfall where you live. Temperature means how hot or cold it is. Rainfall means how much rain fell.

This tool helps people understand their own local weather. It also shows how the summer weather changed across the country. Many people want to know if their area had a drought or a heatwave.
