Heat Stress Overlay

Example of the DPRA heat stress overlay

The new Heat Stress Overlay module is in accordance with the 2019 DPRA Heat stress report.

Modules

In order to configure a Heat Stress Overlay, a module has to be selected. The module can be configured by opening the Heat Overlay Wizard.

The selectable modules are:

• DPRA Heat stress module. This module is more detailed and based on the 2019 DPRA Heat stress report. It can generate multiple Heat Overlay result types as child overlays;
• UNESCO Heat stress module. This module generates a simple heat stress overlay which visualizes the Relative Physiological equivalent temperature result type. It uses a different (and smaller) set of formula's to calculate Heat differences. It does not calculate the expected Physiological Equivalent Temperature.
