==Modules==
In order to configure a Heat Stress Overlay, a module has to be selected. The module can be configured by opening the Heat Overlay Wizard.


The Heat Stress Overlay is an [[grid overlay|overlay]] which displays the average temperature deviation (positive or negative) in different colors for the project area, indicating transitions in temperatures, resulting in Heat stress.
The selectable modules are:
* [[DPRA Heat Module|DPRA Heat stress module]]. This module is more detailed and based on the 2019 {{Heat DPRA Report}}. It can generate multiple Heat Overlay [[Result types (Heat Overlay)|result types]] as child overlays;
* [[UNESCO Heat Module|UNESCO Heat stress module]]. This module generates a simple heat stress overlay which visualizes the [[Pet_relative_result_type_(Heat_Overlay)|Relative Physiological equivalent temperature]] result type. It uses a different (and smaller) set of formula's to calculate Heat differences. It does not calculate the expected Physiological Equivalent Temperature.


==Legend==
[[File:Heatstress_overlay.PNG|thumb|420px|right|Example of the UNESCO heat stress overlay]]
The default colors of the overlay generally mean the following:
{{Heat_Module_buttons}}
* Red: Red indicates the hottest area's, compared to the surroundings.
{{clear}}
* Green: Green indicates not much deviation from the average temperature deviation.
* Blue: Blue indicates the coolest area's, compared to the surroundings.


It is possible to change the colors of the overlay by editing the [[Legend]] in the Legend tab of the overlay.
