Heat Index Calculator
Calculate apparent temperature from air temperature and humidity.
What is Heat Index Calculator?
A heat index calculator estimates how hot it feels when humidity combines with air temperature — the 'feels like' temperature.
High heat index values signal heatstroke risk and the need for precautions.
How does the Heat Index Calculator work?
The calculator uses the full Rothfusz regression with temperature and relative humidity.
It shows the risk category (caution, extreme caution, danger).
How to use the Heat Index Calculator?
- Enter the air temperature.
- Enter the relative humidity.
- The calculator shows the heat index and risk category.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does humidity make it feel hotter?
High humidity slows sweat evaporation, reducing the body's cooling ability.
What heat index is dangerous?
Above 40°C (104°F) is dangerous — heat cramps and exhaustion become likely with prolonged exposure.
