Qu'est-ce que Heat Index Calculator?

▾

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.

1Heat index = Rothfusz regression equation with 9 terms
2Simplified: HI ≈ −42.379 + 2.049T + 10.143RH − ... (°F)
3Only meaningful when T > 27°C (80°F) and RH > 40%
4Heat stroke risk when HI > 40°C (103°F)

Exemples résolus

Exemple 1

Donné:Temperature 35°C, humidity 70%

Résultat:Heat index ≈ 44°C (feels like 44°C due to high humidity)

Heat Index Risk Levels

▾

Heat Index	Risk level	Health effects
27–32°C	Caution	Fatigue with prolonged activity
33–39°C	Extreme caution	Cramps, heat exhaustion possible
40–51°C	Danger	Heat exhaustion likely
> 51°C	Extreme danger	Heat stroke imminent

Questions fréquentes

▾

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.
