Heat Index Calculator

Estimate shaded apparent temperature using the NWS heat-index algorithm.

How It Works

Uses the preliminary Steadman approximation and the Rothfusz regression when the preliminary average is at least 80°F, with NWS humidity corrections.

Assumes shade and light wind. Direct sun and individual health conditions can substantially change heat risk; this is not a work/rest or medical clearance tool.
