Answer 1

bines relative humidity and temperature in a comfort index

Step-by-step explanation:

The Heat Index temperature measures how hot it feels when humidity is factored with the air temperature.

It is important for the human body's comfort.

The human body feels warmer in humid conditions it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off when the body gets too hot.

The concept of the heat index was developed by George Winterling in 1978.

The heat index temperature makes assumptions regarding the human body mass and height, clothing, amount of physical activity etc.

The heat index temperature bines relative humidity and temperature in a comfort index.
