Talk:Heat index
From Academic Kids
The part I'm guessing at, in case anyone's wondering, is how they figure the numbers for the heat index. It might be that it's based on theoretical modeling of the thermodynamics of the human body, but I'm thinking they would have taken a "does it feel hotter in this room, or in that one?" approach, or something like it. The links provided don't seem to give any information how they arrived at the curves, so if anyone else can find anything more authoritative than my guesswork, help yourself. -- John Owens 05:22 May 9, 2003 (UTC)
