Heat Index vs Temperature Re: [MilCom] Pop'Comm Magazine & Military Comms?

[Ken]

Hello folks:

Somewhat off topic!

Probably a better indicator is the heat index which takes into consideration 
dry temperature as well as relative humidity.

See http://www.csgnetwork.com/heatindexcalcs.html  it has both the formula 
as well as a tables constructed for a quick determination of the the "heat 
index"...
