HeatRisk, developed by CDC and NOAA, considers factors like humidity to understand when heat becomes dangerous beyond just temperature. It informs people when heat poses health risks.
The tool uses a color-coded scale from zero (green) to five (magenta) to indicate the level of heat risk, making it easier for individuals to understand and prepare accordingly.
HeatRisk warnings can be issued a week in advance by the National Weather Service, helping people stay safe from extreme heat conditions linked to climate change.
