However, existing heatwave definitions often rely on fixed temperature thresholds without incorporating region-specific health outcomes or population acclimatization, limiting their applicability across diverse climatic and demographic contexts.

First, a tiered health risk-based (THR) approach was used to fit the heatwave-mortality association to detect the region-specific temperature threshold for heatwave. Then, the HEHF was derived from a three-day-averaged temperature exceeding the region-specific heatwave threshold multiplied by the acclimatization index, reflecting the difference between recent (past three-day) and preceding (past thirty-day) average temperatures.
