Temperature/humidity discomfort index

From Dave Goodman CompuServe ID: [72330,130]

Different combinations of heat and humidity affect people differently. The results of the following equation tells you how you are likely to be affected by these different levels.

{THI|!Temp-Humidity Discomfort Index!

!THI>70 some people uncomfortable !

!THI>75 1/2 population uncomfortable!

!THI>79 most people uncomfortable !

!THI>84 decreasing work efficiency !

!THI>92 DANGER of exhaustion/stroke !

THI =

if(humidity > 94,

.8 temp + .195 temp,

if(humidity >= 90 AND humidity < 95,

.8 temp + .18 temp,

if(humidity >= 80 AND humidity < 90,

.8 temp + .1667,

if(humidity >= 70 AND humidity < 80,

.8 temp + .145 temp,

if(humidity >= 60 AND humidity < 70,

.8 temp + .123 temp,

.8 temp + .085 temp)))))
