Signal atlas
Compare regional heatwave signals

Examine how frequency, magnitude, mean intensity, affected area, and duration vary across AR6 regions and time. Use this pathway for trend comparison and regional diagnostics.

Risk lens
Translate hazard with HPRI

Connect HWMS, HWMM, HWMA, and HWD to transparent physical-risk bands and sector lenses. Use this pathway for portfolio screening or risk-report interpretation, not direct loss estimation.

Briefing
Review current heat evidence

Read curated reporting, research signals, historical analogues, and one-month, one-quarter, and one-year outlook context. Use this pathway when you need a concise evidence briefing before deeper analysis.

Method
Audit DFS and HPRI methods

Trace event detection, metric definitions, HPRI construction, validation rules, caveats, and provenance. Use this pathway when methodology must be reviewed or cited.
