Scope
What is the location-specific daily heat exposure in Europe?
Heat exposure is defined as the location-specific daily maximum apparent temperature (AT) (i.e. humidity-adjusted temperature) above an area-specific threshold value.
Definition
Data
Dependencies
- Ambient air temperature in Europe
- Urban heat island effect in Europe

- Temperature threshold for the ERF for heat exposure and mortality:
- Mediterranean region AT threshold: 29.4 (95% Cl 25.7-32.4)
- North-continental AT threshold: 23.3 (95% Cl 22.5-24.0)
Unit
