Frequently Asked Questions

What is heat index?

Heat index combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine how hot it feels. High humidity reduces sweat evaporation, making it feel hotter.

When is heat index dangerous?

Heat index above 90°F requires caution, above 105°F is dangerous, and above 130°F is extremely dangerous with high risk of heat stroke.
