The outside air temperature 71 inches above the soil in a solar shielded, vented, day time aspirated enclosure. Heat Index - the effects of humidity and temperature on the human body. An apparent or perceived temperature based on the skin cooling effects. Used to indicate discomfort or dangerously high heat exposure. average speed in miles per hour The temperature to which air must be cooled for saturation (100% relative humidity) to occur. refers to the amount of water vapor in the air, the amount of water vapor that the air can contain varies with air temperature and pressure Evapotranspiration is the sum of evaporation from the land surface plus transpiration from plants. Evapotransporation is measured in inches. Real UV intensity is measured in Lexington, Ga. This is not a forecast or a calculated value.
