heatindex: Calculating Heat Stress (original) (raw)

Implements the simpler and faster heat index, which matches the values of the original 1979 heat index and its 2022 extension for air temperatures above 300 K (27 C, 80 F) and with only minor differences at lower temperatures. Also implements an algorithm for calculating the thermodynamic (and psychrometric) wet-bulb (and ice-bulb) temperature.
