Frequently Asked Questions

What is the heat index and how is it calculated?

The heat index, also called the apparent temperature, combines air temperature and relative humidity to indicate how hot it actually feels. When humidity is high, sweat evaporates more slowly, making you feel hotter. The Rothfusz regression equation used by the National Weather Service calculates the heat index from temperature and humidity inputs. Our calculator shows the result in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.

What is dew point and why does it matter?

The dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated and water vapor begins to condense into dew or fog. A higher dew point means more moisture in the air and greater discomfort. Dew points above 65°F (18°C) feel muggy, and above 70°F (21°C) feel oppressive. Our calculator derives dew point from temperature and relative humidity using the Magnus-Tetens approximation.

How is wind chill calculated?

Wind chill measures how cold it feels on exposed skin when the wind blows. The current NWS wind chill formula takes air temperature (below 50°F / 10°C) and wind speed (above 3 mph) and calculates the equivalent calm-air temperature. Higher wind speeds cause heat to leave the body faster, making it feel colder than the actual temperature.

How can I calculate my carbon footprint?

A carbon footprint calculator estimates your annual CO2 emissions from energy use (electricity, natural gas), transportation (car miles, flights), diet, and waste. The average American produces about 16 metric tons of CO2 per year. Our calculator breaks down emissions by category and suggests areas where you can reduce your impact.
