Cara Menghitung Heat Index
learn.whatIsHeading
The heat index (apparent temperature or "feels like") combines air temperature and relative humidity to indicate how hot it actually feels to the human body. High humidity prevents sweat from evaporating, reducing the body's cooling ability.
Rumus
Heat index ≈ −42.379 + 2.04901523T + 10.14333127RH − 0.22475541T×RH + ... (complex formula)
- HI
- Heat Index (°F)
- T
- Air Temperature (°F)
- RH
- Relative Humidity (%)
Panduan Langkah demi Langkah
- 1Uses the Rothfusz regression equation (NWS standard)
- 2Valid for temperatures ≥ 80°F (27°C) and humidity ≥ 40%
- 3Calculated from 9-term polynomial regression
- 4Danger levels: Caution >90°F, Extreme >103°F, Danger >125°F
Contoh Terpecahkan
Masukan
95°F, 60% humidity

Heat index ≈ 108°F — Danger zone
Masukan
95°F, 20% humidity
Hasil
Heat index ≈ 87°F — Caution zone (desert-like)
Pertanyaan yang sering diajukan
Is heat index the same as "feels like" temperature?
Heat index and "feels like" are similar concepts, but heat index specifically accounts for humidity's effect on the body's cooling through sweating.
At what heat index is it dangerous?
Heat index above 103°F creates risk for heat exhaustion. Above 125°F, heat stroke risk increases dramatically even for healthy people.
Why does humidity matter in hot weather?
Humidity prevents sweat from evaporating, which is your body's primary cooling mechanism. High humidity traps body heat and raises core temperature faster.
