Slot: Heat-Wave Threshold Specifier (heat_wave_threshold_specifier)

Free-form specifier paired with heat_wave_threshold_definition to capture the concrete threshold values (e.g. "35_Cel" for an absolute threshold, "95" for the 95th percentile).

Tier: optional

Why this slot matters

The definition names the rule but not the number: two records both marked "percentile_local" are still incomparable unless the concrete value (95th vs 90th percentile, 35 vs 40 °C) is recorded here.

In plain terms

The threshold definition is the type of cutoff; this is the actual number plugged into it — like knowing a speed limit exists versus knowing it is 50.
