There are four ways to measure heat: air temperature, heat index, wet bulb globe temperature, and the experimental HeatRisk forecast, which puts the heat in context and highlights extreme ...

Their effect on our bodies can be measured through wet-bulb temperature. Wet-bulb temperature (WBT) is a measurement of dry air (or dry-bulb) temperature – what we typically read on a ...

You may be a weather nerd if you know that “wet bulb” temperatures are a better measurement of heat risk than “dew point.” Or that RFDs — “rear-flank downdrafts” of rain and hail ...

The reason? High humidity levels are pushing both the "feels like" temperature and the wet bulb temperature well above normal. With humidity ranging between 40% and 70%, stepping outside feels far ...

As temperatures around the world rise because of climate change, the human body is increasingly confronting a little-understood and increasing hazard: excessive heat. From enduring heatwaves to ...

The Harrisburg region is in for another week of on-again, off-again rain and clouds, according to the National Weather Service, with a sudden dip in temperatures mid-week. Memorial Day’s sunny ...

A warming climate is likely to push entire regions out of their comfort zones—and make staying cool a matter of survival. DASHT-E LUT, IRANA morning traveler surveys what might be Earth’s ...

This could mean updating the occupational safety codes to include maximum allowable temperature for indoor work, recognising the impact of wet bulb temperatures (reflects the effect of humidity on ...

Afternoon highs will climb into the mid and upper 80s with blazing sunshine. The warmer-than-average temperature trend is expected to last through the end of May.

"Pick whichever climate hazard is most relevant to your area: extreme wet-bulb temperatures in the summertime; some sort of coastal erosion driven by sea level rise; snowpack; ice sheet melting ...

This week's cold temperatures and wet weather are a "stark contrast" from the hot and humid weather of the week before but overall May has been "normal." So far. That could change, though ...

A "scorching" Ibieran heatwave will sizzle the UK within days. Temperature charts show a rise in the mercury, with conditions in the high 20s covering swathes of England next week. The maps and ...
