DPRA Heat Module

Each newly added Heat Overlay uses the Heat DPRA module by default. For the previously default Heat Overlay configuration, see UNESCO Heat stress module.

The Heat DPRA module is a new (as of 2019) Heat Stress Module, developed to be in accordance with the new Dutch DPRA standards. This module is under revision, as is this documentation. However a Beta version of the module is already available on the Preview server for our partners.
