Heat Index (Apparent Temperature) Chart

The Heat Index (HI) is the temperature the body feels when heat and humidity are combined. The chart below shows the HI that corresponds to the actual air temperature and relative humidity. (NOTE: This chart is based upon shady, light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunlight can increase the HI by up to 15°F.)

(Due to the nature of the heat index calculation, the values in the tables below have an error of +/- 1.3F.)
