What is Heat Index?

The Heat Index (also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like temperature') is a measure of how hot it feels when relative humidity is factored in with the actual air temperature. It is an important indicator for heat-related health risks, especially during hot weather. The heat index is calculated using the Rothfusz equation, which takes into account both temperature and relative humidity to determine the perceived temperature.

Heat Index

Calculate heat index from temperature and relative humidity using the Rothfusz equation. This is the most common calculation.

Temperature from Heat Index

Calculate the actual temperature when you know the heat index and relative humidity. Uses iterative numerical methods.

Humidity from Heat Index

Calculate relative humidity when you know the heat index and temperature. Uses iterative numerical methods.

Convert Temperature Units

Convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32, °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9.

Heat Index Formula (Rothfusz Equation)

Main Formula:

HI = -42.379 + 2.04901523×T + 10.14333127×RH - 0.22475541×T×RH

- 6.83783×10⁻³×T² - 5.481717×10⁻²×RH² + 1.22874×10⁻³×T²×RH

+ 8.5282×10⁻⁴×T×RH² - 1.99×10⁻⁶×T²×RH²

Οπου:

  • HI = Heat Index (°F)
  • T = Temperature (°F)
  • RH = Relative Humidity (%)

Adjustments:

  • If RH < 13% and 80°F ≤ T ≤ 112°F: Subtract adjustment
  • If RH > 85% and 80°F ≤ T ≤ 87°F: Add adjustment

Σημαντικές Σημειώσεις

  • Heat index is only valid for temperatures above 80°F (27°C) and relative humidity above 40%.
  • Heat index calculations are based on the Rothfusz equation developed by the National Weather Service.
  • The formula uses Fahrenheit for temperature; Celsius values are converted automatically.
  • Direct sunlight can increase the heat index by up to 15°F (8°C).
  • Wind can reduce the heat index by increasing evaporation.
  • Heat index is most accurate in shaded, light wind conditions.
  • Elderly, children, and those with health conditions are more susceptible to heat-related illnesses.
  • Stay hydrated and take breaks in cool, shaded areas when heat index is high.
