The tool offers current temperature, humidity, heat index, and WBGT (wet bulb globe temperature) values, along with forecasts for up to four days. This data is sourced from the National Weather Service, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

The risk level categorizations for heat index adhere to the OSHA-NIOSH 3-category scale, while the WBGT categories follow the US Army standard. This standardized information allows for a comprehensive assessment of heat-related risks and precautions.

The tool displays a range of hot weather measurements, including psychrometric wet bulb globe temperature, heat index, temperature, and humidity. This enables better planning of outdoor work activities and assessment of risk levels for occupational safety and health. It is a valuable resource for coaches, managers, and workers alike.

Users can access all features without the need for login, registration, or subscription. By using this tool, individuals can mitigate the risk of heat-related illnesses such as heat stroke, heat exhaustion, rhabdomyolysis, heat cramps, and heat rash. Recognizing and understanding hot conditions can help prevent symptoms of weakness, dizziness, and fatigue. Proactively managing hydration levels and taking adequate rest breaks are key strategies to prevent heat-related symptoms and injuries.
