How hot is too hot? New weather forecasting tool can help figure that out
Briefly

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.
