The default colors of the overlay generally mean the following:
* Red: Red indicates the hottest area's, compared to the surroundings.
* Green: Green indicates not much deviation from the average temperature deviation.
* Blue: Blue indicates the coolest area's, compared to the surroundings.

This module generates a simple heat stress overlay which visualizes the [[Pet_relative_result_type_(Heat_Overlay)|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.

Example of the DPRA heat stress overlay

We are working on a new Heat Stress Overlay module, which will be in accordance with the new Dutch DPRA standards. This module is still under construction, as is the documentation, however a Beta version of the module is available on the Preview server for our partners.

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:
