**Additional Context**
- Subject Matter Expert for User Research: EC: " The heat exposure threshold is humidex > 35. Heat Exposure should be in hourly timesteps"
- [Option1 HRDPS Humidex layer available in GRIB2](https://eccc-msc.github.io/msc-animet/?layers=HRDPS.CONTINENTAL_HMX;0.75;0;1;0;1&extent=-21187132,938490,-1216482,10982552&play=1)
- [Option2 WMS layer: Name HRDPS.CONTINENTAL - Humidex at 2 m above ground

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.
