On hot and humid days like today, it’s best to try to remain indoors in an air conditioned place, if possible. If it’s not, remember to drink plenty of water and not exert yourself.
Humidex — short for “humidity index,” a value that is calculated rather than measured — was first used in 1965. It was designed to describe how hot or humid weather feels to the average person. It combines temperature and dew point into one computed value. The dew point is the temperature at which air must be cooled for water vapour to condense and form dew or fog. The higher the dewpoint, the more moisture is in the air.
