Heatwaves are periods of abnormally hot weather, lasting for at least three days. By impacting, for example, mortality and morbidity, labor productivity, and crop yields, heatwaves particularly drive risks related to human health and food security. This indicator measures the total number of heatwave days over the past 365 days in a grid cell.
