Estimate the NOAA-style apparent temperature from air temperature and relative humidity, with risk bands, dew point, and formula notes.
Use shaded, ventilated air temperature. Heat index is intended for warm conditions and may understate risk in direct sun.
NOAA heat index tables are commonly used from about 80°F / 27°C upward.
Apparent temperature
Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely; heat stroke is possible.
Fatigue is possible with prolonged exposure and physical activity.
Heat cramps and heat exhaustion become more likely, especially during exertion.
Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely; heat stroke is possible.
Heat stroke becomes highly likely with continued exposure.
