Brussels-Capital Region : This map shows the Health Impact Screening score for heat stress (0-8) in the Brussels Capital Region. It was produced as part of the 2020 study on the "Impact of 'Nature-Based Solutions' (NBS) on urban residents' exposure to air pollution, noise pollution or high temperatures - Overview of general knowledge and recommendations for the Brussels-Capital Region". This map is based on the maximum Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) map of 24 August 2016. For the methodology used, see p.48. The study report (in dutch) is available at http://document.environnement.brussels/opac_css/elecfile/NatureBasedSolutions

This dataset corresponds to urban heat islands. It 's made of a raster image with each pixel corresponding to a standardised Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) indicator value from 0 to 100. This indicator measures heat stress based on temperature, humidity, wind, exposure to solar radiation and cloud cover for a typical hot summer day (i.e. 24 August 2016).
