Humidex is a well known bullshit so old mate Tyler's tweet is nonsensical sensationalism. Unfortunately, this is what the public ends up seeing and believing. "53C in Canada". Bullshit. |

I don't think the humidex is bs. The humidex is for sure not representative of what the temperature feels like on your skin, but I can definitely imagine that it's a good index for an average human body to be able to regulate their core body temperature. If you step outdoors and it's 32'C with a 29'C DP, it's not going to feel like it's even 40'C, but if you're outside, especially if you're walking around or exercizing, I'm sure it will be about as likely to give you a heatstroke as warmer, drier weather with the same humidex. |

^^^ And you wonder why you get ridiculed, Babu. Heat index or whatever has nothing to do with how hot you feel while going for a run or some shit. It is meant to be a formula to derive the sensation of ambient shade temp. Come on, if you run long enough or do enough star jumps it could feel like 40C in your proportionally proportionate body when it is 20C outside. Would that make sense as a meteorological observation? No  Humidex is malarky end of story. If some latte sipping asian yoga student in Vancouver thinks its 47C because she done 5 mins of jogging in place then more power to her. |

Dew points seem neutral to slightly more humid than neutral during peak heat from what I've seen (around 15 C), so I don't think the humidex is particularly relevant in this situation. I have seen that guy's other tweets and I am not impressed. He lost credibility when he started to compare Vancouver to Dubai.

Don't know if you're intentionally misinterpreting me or not. I'll double down that I think the humidex is a good index for everything related to heatstroke and core body temperature. |

Surely knot has something to say about this  They couldn't even be bothered to get Miami's latitude right.  |

The concept is fine but the neutral point of the humidex is too low, US heat index is reasonable imo. This heat wave isn’t muggy enough for the heat index to change things |

43.4c in Lytton as of 2pm. This says it's only 42.0c. Are there different stations?
