Heat Index
How to create a Heat Index data stream.
Table of Contents
The Heat Index estimates how warm it feels as a result of air temperature and relative humidity. It's used to assess the risk level of outdoor activities: the stress thresholds let you track when heat stress will be experienced and help determine the duration and intensity of outdoor activities. Thresholds are region-dependent.
