The US government launches HeatRisk, a tool combining temperature forecasts and health data for a 7-day heat risk forecast.

The US government has launched a new tool called HeatRisk, developed by the National Weather Service and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It combines temperature forecasts with heat-related health data to provide a seven-day forecast of potential heat risks across the US. HeatRisk aims to help Americans anticipate high temperatures and their potential impact on human health, as extreme heat waves become more frequent and intense due to climate change.
