- The importance of measuring the heat index lies in its ability to assess the impact of heat on human health and well-being. High humidity during heatwaves can make the apparent temperature significantly higher than the actual air temperature, making it feel much hotter to people.
- High heat index values can lead to heat stress, heat exhaustion, and even heatstroke, posing serious health risks.Monitoring the heat index is vital for public safety, especially during extreme heat events.
- It helps authorities issue heat wave alerts, implement necessary precautions, and adapt to extreme heat conditions by adjusting work schedules and providing cooling solutions to protect public health and safety.
