What is heat index?<\/h3>\n

The heat index represents how hot it actually feels by combining the current temperature and relative humidity.<\/p>\n

In hot conditions, the human body regulates its temperature through perspiration. Heat is carried away from the body as the water in sweat evaporates. However, when the humidity is higher, the water does not evaporate as fast, causing the temperature to feel hotter than it actually is. The heat index provides a temperature value that represents this ‘feels like’ temperature.<\/p>\n

Room Alert products with a internal or external Temperature & Humidity Sensor can monitor heat index. Monitoring the heat index with Room Alert allows managers to ensure that working environments like factory and warehouse floors are within an acceptable range.<\/p>\n
