Extreme Heatwave Early Warning and Human Thermal Stress Index

Source summary

The proposed heat-warning system combines temperature, humidity, wind and radiation into indices such as WBGT, UTCI or Heat Index, then relates them to local demographic and health data. It targets forecasts of hospitalization and mortality risk three to five days ahead, with ward-level maps and regional-language alerts supporting heat-action plans. These are population-level research estimates requiring validation, not individual clinical predictions.
