Heat Index Calculator - How to 1.2

A heat index is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived equivalent temperature, commonly referred to as "how hot it feels." This resultant value is known as the "felt air temperature" or "apparent temperature." For instance, when the temperature reads 90°F alongside elevated humidity levels, the heat index may reach approximately 106°F.

The heat index calculator provided allows for the calculation of the heat index or apparent temperature.

The calculator requires input of the air temperature, dew point temperature, or relative humidity to compute the heat index. This information proves valuable in making well-informed decisions regarding outdoor activities, aiding in the scheduling of work or recreational pursuits and monitoring potential health risks associated with high temperatures, particularly during extreme heat events.

How to use this calculator:

1. Choose the suitable calculator.
2. Select the preferred temperature unit—either degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. For quick conversions among different temperature units, utilize our "Temperature Converter" tool.
3. Enter the dew point temperature or relative humidity (%).
4. Click on the "Calculate" button to obtain an estimate of the heat index temperature.
5. The heat index temperature will be displayed in various temperature scales.
6. Further instructions or warnings based on the heat index value will be provided.

The comprehensive "Thermometer" screen eliminates the need for separate tools to gauge temperature and humidity levels. It presents current location data, including temperature, wind speed, wind direction, dew point temperatures, humidity levels, and Air Quality Index (AQI). Users can effortlessly customize background colors and access a heat index forecast for the upcoming three hours.
