Takin' a break from forkin' horse sheet and saw the "hot" comments and thought maybe a few of you math lovers (tee hee) would appreciate this. It's the formula for calculating heat index ("feels like" temperature)
T=Temperature in degrees F, RH=Relative Humidity in percent
Heat Index = -42.379 + (2.04901523 x T) + (10.14333127 x RH) - (0.22475541 x T x RH) - (6.83783 x 10^-3 x T^2) - (5.481717 x 10^2 x RH^2) + (1.22874 x 10^-3 x T^2 x RH) + (8.5282 x 10^-4 x T X RH^2) - (1.99 x 10^-6 x T^2 x RH^2)
So all that boils down to, if it is 90 degrees with 65% RH, it "feels like" 102.7 F. Wasn't that fun?
Tigger, anything over 107, heat exhaustion is likely. Anything over 130, heat stroke is likely. Be wary amigo...
