Heat Index Chart - Relative Humidity vs. Air Temperature

As one who is severely discomforted by a combination of heat and humidity, this kind of table is of great interest. If I am going to be miserable, I want to know exactly how miserable I really am! This information is derived from NOAA Click here for a windchill chart.

Extreme Danger - Heat stroke or sun stroke likely

Danger - Sunstroke, muscle cramps and/or heat exhaustion likely

Extreme Caution - Sunstroke, muscle cramps and/or heat exhaustion possible

Caution - Fatigue possible

NOAA provides the following equation for calculating heat index:
       HI = -42.379 + 2.04901523T + 10.14333127R - 0.22475541TR - 6.83783x10^-3T²- 5.481717x10^-2R² + 1.22874x10^-3T²R + 8.5282x10^-4TR² - 1.99x10^-6T²R²,

           where T = ambient dry bulb temperature (°F) R = relative humidity (integer percentage)

      "Because this equation is obtained by multiple regression analysis, (HI) has an error of ±1.3°F"

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The Internet was still largely an unknown entity at the time and not much was available in the form of WYSIWYG ...
