-
Equation solver using relative
humidity is valid at all temperatures between 70°F and 120°F and
humidities from 5% and above as reported by station.
-
Relative humidity cannot be 100%
beyond 90°F
-
Equation solver using dew point is
valid at all temperatures between 75°F and 120°F and dew points from 35°F
and above as reported by station. The dew point is always no greater than
the temperature, nor can it exceed 90°F.
-
SSI values above 160°F are not
possible in the earth atmosphere, but may be reached in mines, poorly
ventilated apartments and automobiles, saunas. etc.
-
Heat stress indicators assume one
hour of exposure in normal summer clothing
