Why the heat index matters more than the temperature in a heat wave

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:06:56 GMT

(CNN) — Checking the temperature reading during a heat wave won’t tell the whole sweltering story. It’s going to feel a lot hotter.Blame the heat index, also called “apparent temperature.” It’s a combination of air temperature and humidity, and it measures what the body actually feels, CNN meteorologist Haley Brink said.“We should pay attention because of the way we, as humans, cool down,” she said.“We cool down by sweating, and that sweat evaporates off of our bodies, in turn decreasing our body temperature,” she said. When it is really humid outside, the air’s saturation level makes sweating much less effective: The sweat just builds up on skin like in a sauna, and the body doesn’t cool down naturally.So, a place with a predicted temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity of 73% can expect it to feel like 111 degrees, she said. And a forecast high temperature of 97 degrees, with relative humidity of 71%, will make it feel like 105.And that’s not even in the sun.“W...
