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.
