Description:
Provides grid-cell based heat and impacts data through a user friendly website Uses climate data from the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISI-MIP), (Potsdam Institute) and calculate Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) and the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) so that they can be displayed for any of the 67,000 grid cells over land.
