Historical Today matches the same month and day within each event year. Physical strength remains separate from external reporting: an absent source does not imply an absent impact.

Interpretation guardrails
The catalog identifies connected heatwave objects; causal attribution requires a separate analysis.
HWMS, HWD, HWMA, and HWMM describe physical event structure, not health or financial loss.
