Yes we are all obviously too stupid to figure out it's hot by actually walking outside. WE MUST BE WARNED TO SAVE OUR LIVES!!11!

Bearded Dragon. She looks harmless but will bite your face off when provoked.

A formula using relative humidity and temp along with a bunch of other mumbo jumbo...

You need temps above 80 and humidity above 40% to get a reading...


The number they quote is if you are in the shade..tack on 10 degrees if you are in the sun...

well, i thot it had to do with temp & humidity. only thing is, when it gets hot here (Dallas county), the humidity goes way down. i think they lie when they give the "feels like" temp.

you hear (tejas guys) say something like "wow, it's 95 degrees outside with 95% humidity". onliest thing is, that (almost for sure) never happens here. maybe in houston or maybe NOLA,but not here. mmaybe if it's real cloudy, but by the time it gets cloudy, it cools off.

basically, i think the "heat index" is just another way for media to make you feel worse.

in Phoenix, the heat index would be nil, no humidity.
