The pipeline covers percentile-based extreme heat thresholds, wet-bulb temperature computation for physiological stress, simplified epidemiological mortality estimation, and economic impact modeling. A case study contrasts Jacobabad (Pakistan) and Yakutsk (Russia) to demonstrate how local baselines produce different risk outputs from the same pipeline. Key limitations include uniform vulnerability assumptions, coarse spatial resolution, and inherent climate projection uncertainty. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
