Daily Heat Exposure and Health Outcomes in 25 Global Cities (2015–2024)

Daily records from 2015 to 2024 track heat exposure, labor productivity, and health outcomes across 25 cities on four continents. The dataset likely contains metrics for assessing the impact of heat stress on urban populations and economies. It originates from the Global Heat-Stress Observatory and was published on Kaggle.

Use Cases

• Modeling heat-related health risks based on daily exposure metrics
• Analyzing labor productivity loss due to heat stress across different cities
• Comparing heat exposure and outcomes across four continents
• Forecasting future heat-stress impacts based on a multi-year time series

Strengths

• Covers a 10-year time range from 2015 to 2024
• Includes data from 25 cities across four continents
• Combines daily heat exposure with labor and health outcome metrics

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the selected 25 cities
