Did you know the air temperature can actually feel hotter than what the thermometer reads? The Heat Index is a measure of how hot it really feels when relative humidity is factored in. To find out how hot it feels, follow this link https://weather.gov/heat. #NIHHIS #HeatSafety

Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) can be used to measure heat stress in direct sunlight. It takes into account: temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle and cloud cover (solar radiation). Go to digital.mdl.nws.noaa.gov/ for the WBGT forecast. #NIHHIS #HeatSafety

Did you know that you can look ahead for excessive heat potential in your area? The Weather Prediction Center produces various Heat Index Forecasts including Probability Forecasts for Heat Index in Days 3-7.https://wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/heat_index… #NIHHIS #HeatSafety

This wraps up our Heat Season Awareness Week. For more heat and heat-health resources, visit: heat.gov #NIHHIS #HeatSafety
