**As a** Weather Forecaster
**I need** To visualize the Humidex Layer
**So That** I can better alert BCWS staff re: potential heat exposure risks
**Acceptance Criteria**
- [ ] Given (Context), When (action carried out), Then (expected outcome)

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the HRDPS Humidex GRIB2 and WMS references, the heat-exposure threshold of humidex >35, and the requirement for hourly timesteps. Identify how the ASA Go layer is expected to integrate, then define concrete acceptance criteria for displaying and validating the layer before implementation.
