CalHeatScore is a heat-health ranking system that translates 7-day weather forecasts into easy-to-understand heat scores ranging from 0-4 to indicate increasing levels of health risks due to extreme heat at the zip code level. This layer contains the 7-day forecast of heat scores, updated daily approximately at 5 and 8am Pacific Time. The CA GeoPortal site provides downloadable files of the data, which are updated daily at 8am. Click on this link to go directly to the CalHeatScore mapping tool.
