Climate and health

a heatwave intensity index combining three-day mean temperature anomalies against climatology and against the preceding month, used to classify heatwave severity.

In climate and health, excess heat factor refers to a heatwave intensity index combining three-day mean temperature anomalies against climatology and against the preceding month, used to classify heatwave severity. This meaning comes from Nairn (2014) in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.[1]
