Guide for Using the Heat Index Calculator

Our Heat Index Calculator! is a tool designed to keep an eye on the total heat index of our region. So, we may be able to make precautionary measures in our area to keep ourselves and beloved ones away from the impact of the excessive heat that our area is going to experience. This tool use the present humidity factor and temperature to keep a track record of the heat.

Before we dive into the details of the calculator using process, let’s breakdown the content into different parts to make it easy for the users from different regions to use this tool effectively and make maximum use of it. The breakdown is as follow:

Follow the steps below to use the heat calculator and understand how to calculate the heat index:

Step-by-Step Instructions

The step by step instructions to use this heat calculator are:

• Enter The Temperature
• Enter The Humidity
• Calculate The Heat Index

Enter The Temperature

The very first step while using this calculator is to input the temperature in the desired section. The temperature must be written in the Fahrenheit unit, as this is only unit supported by our calculator.

If you do not know, how to convert temperature to Fahrenheit, please use our Temperature Converter to convert from your temperature.

Enter The Humidity

The second step is to input the humidity percentage in the desired input section. The humidity must be written in percentage ranging from 0-100%. Higher humidity levels usually make it feel hotter than the actual temperature.

Click “Calculate Heat Index”

After inputting all the required details, the next step is to tap the Calculate button. The calculator will process your data immediately as you tap the Calculate button.

View The Results

The final step is to view the results that a calculator displays after tapping the Calculate button. The calculator will display the output for the heat index in Fahrenheit unit just below the calculate button.

Example

Let’s understand these calculations with the help of an example. Consider the temperature is 90°F and humidity percentage is 70%. The calculator will display the output as 105°F, meaning that the actual temperature is 90°F but it feels like 105°F due to the high humidity percentage.

How This Calculator Helps:

This calculator help as by working as:

• Heat Stress Calculator
• A Tool To Calculate The WBGT
• A Heat Index Converter

Let’s discuss each of the above function below.

• Heat stress calculator: This will allow the user to detect the potential heat risk associated with a region. Higher levels can be dangerous for any physical activity in the area.
• Calculate WBGT: Although, this tool is mainly linked with the heat index but you can also use it as a prior tool for calculating the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WGBT).
• Heat Index Converter: This tool serves as a starting point for converting heat index to other forms like WGBT and humidex.

Conclusion

Thus concluding the topic with a fact that the heat index calculator is a valuable tool for the one who is planning to exercise or do any other extreme physical activity. This calculator will help the athletes to choose slightly cooler environments to perform their physical activities. This tool also serves as an important way to understand how much chances of heat wave attack in your region, so you may plan accordingly.
