The comfort index calculates the body's reaction to heat,
cold, humidity and wind chill. High temperatures
and humidity stress the body's ability to cool itself, and low temperature
can stress the body's ability to heat
itself.
Do not base important decisions on this comfort index!
Everybody's reaction to heat and cold is different.
