With the combination of actual temperature and humidity we are faced with the Heat Index. It is used to calculate physical discomfort on days with high temperatures and with a high relative humidity rate
This paper created by Itieffe is a key resource in the field of public health, designed to quantify the physical discomfort that people can experience during days characterized by high temperatures and a high level of relative humidity. This index provides crucial information to understand the dangers associated with heat waves and to take preventative measures to protect people's health and well-being.
In this introduction, we want to highlight the importance of the heat index as a risk assessment tool for human health in extreme heat conditions. Heat waves can pose serious health risks, including heat exhaustion, dehydration, heat exhaustion and other heat-related conditions. Understanding how humidity affects the perception of heat is critical to public safety.
The main characteristics and topics addressed in this paper include the Interpretation of the index: we will explain how to interpret the index table in terms of physical discomfort and health risk starting from the colors indicated and calculated based on the intersections between temperature and humidity.
In conclusion
The main objective of this paper is to provide a complete information resource on this index, promoting greater awareness of the risk linked to heat waves and the preventive measures necessary to reduce the danger to health. This knowledge is essential to protecting yourself, your families and your communities during the hottest summer days, helping to prevent serious and potentially fatal health problems.
