  3. Yeesh, Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (which measures the amount of heat stress and likelihood of getting heat illness and heat stroke) is "Extreme" for most of the East Coast right now. Stay safe/cool all!

    Das ist der bislang beste Rechner, den ich gefunden habe, um die Frage der Hitzebelastung und des Lüftens (oder nicht) zu lösen:

    martinvogel.de/py/hitzeindex.py

    Wet Bulb Globe Temperature ist natürlich auch mit dabei.

    El fútbol mundial se prepara para una Copa del Mundo histórica, con 48 selecciones, 104 partidos y sedes repartidas entre Estados Unidos, México y Canadá. Pero un reciente estudio científico encendió una alarma que ya no puede esconderse debajo de la alfombra: el calor extremo podría transformar al Mundial 2026 en uno de los eventos deportivos más peligrosos de las últimas décadas.

  15. Forget #HeatIndex. #WetBulb Globe Temperature Is Where It’s At.

    "One of the most common terms we hear during the summer when discussing the weather is Heat Index. While the Heat Index can give you an idea of how dangerous the heat can be, there is another lesser known variable that may give a complete description, known as the #WetBulbGlobeTemperature.

    "The Heat Index is a measure of how hot it feels to the human body, taking into account the temperature and the relative humidity. The higher either one value is, the higher the heat index and the greater the stress exerted on the body. Heat Index utilizes the temperature measured in the shade and therefore will likely be greater in the sun, where many activities take place. For temperatures taken in the full sunlight, Heat Indices can increase as much as 15°F. Humidity plays a major effect on cooling the body. If the humidity is high, sweat on the surface of the skin does not evaporate as quickly, slowing the cooling of the body. If the humidity is low, sweat evaporates too fast, leading to dehydration. [See link for Heat Index chart]

    "Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (#WBGT) is similar to the Heat Index in that it is an indicator of the stress on the body from the heat. While it is not as well-known as the Heat Index, it’s not a new term. WBGT was developed in the 1950s after heat related illnesses affected the US armed services during the 1940s. After its implementation, there was a reduction in heat related illnesses during basic training. One fundamental difference between the Heat Index and WBGT is that the latter is calculated with the temperature measured in the sun. While Heat Index only takes temperature and Relative Humidity into account, WBGT takes several variables into account.

    These variables include:

    - Temperature
    - Humidity
    - Wind Speed
    - Sun Angle
    - Cloud Cover
    - Physical Activity"

  20. Perhaps the best approach would be to get a device that can measure the local wet bulb globe temperature. This seems to be an option:

    kestrelmeters.com/kestrel-5400

    Does anyone have recommendations for wet bulb thermometers?

  25. I now have two apps that tell me the wet bulb globe temperature (#WBGT), as well as a forecast:

    - Heat Safety: play.google.com/store/apps/det
    - AIHA Heat Stress App: play.google.com/store/apps/det

    aiha.org/press/aiha-launches-n

    Sadly, these apps don't agree on the current WBGT. The man with one clock knows what time it is, the man with two clocks isn't quite sure!

    Both depend on the National Weather Service, so who knows how long they will remain trustworthy, given Trump's war on weather forecasting.

  30. Are there any #publichealth / #heatstress / #heat / #climate professionals on here who’d be willing to briefly consult on a #heatsafety project I’m designing?

    I’m trying to make #WBGT more intuitive and actionable for the general public (but especially #construction workers and #running/ #athletes), and I want to modify how the temperature is presented, responsibly.

    Thank you!

    (Draft design attached, but seeking expert feedback on things not pictured here.)
