Still a heat index of 108F there at DCA

OSHA calculator says that is bad, but I still don't know whose calculator for Wet Bulb Globe Temperature is best.

#heatwave #DCwx

99F air temp, 108F heat index

Estimated WBGT from calculated solar irradiance (will be blank if the user supplied the solar irradiance): WBGT if in direct sunlight (assumes no clouds and a clear sky with an estimated solar irradiance of W/m2). WBGT if in shade (assumes a sheltered/shady outdoor location with solar irradiance = 0 W/m2). *** NOTE *** If clouds were present, the WBGT likely was between the "direct sunlight" and "shade" estimates given above. This calculator does not attempt to adjust the WBGT for cloud cover. The reason is that such an adjustment depends on many factors--e.g., cloud thickness, cloud height, number of cloud layers, and whether or not the cloud was blocking the sun--that are difficult or impossible to determine in retrospect.

Sometimes the camera view switches to the rotisserie ferris wheel with special enclosed baking compartments 😃
