Heat Index کا حساب کیسے لگائیں
Heat Index کیا ہے؟
The heat index (apparent temperature or "feels like" temperature) combines air temperature and relative humidity to show how hot it actually feels, since humidity impairs the body's ability to cool through sweating.

- 3Only meaningful when T > 27°C (80°F) and RH > 40%
- 4Heat stroke risk when HI > 40°C (103°F)

اکثر پوچھے جانے والے سوالات
Why is heat index different from temperature?
Heat index accounts for body's inability to cool via sweat evaporation. High humidity + heat = dangerous.
What heat index is dangerous?
>90°F: heat cramps likely. >103°F: heat exhaustion. >125°F: heat stroke risk high.
Can I use wind chill in summer?
No. Wind chill applies to cold. Wind actually increases heat stress by reducing cooling. Use heat index instead.
