Hope this start is helpful... just added some preliminary metrics for heat and humidity on my climate indicators page 🥵 📊 zacklabe.com/united-state...

I know that high humidity can actually shave off a couple of degrees in temperature. That is made up for in the total heat index. Is there a deterministic formula or are there other factors?

Here is the formula I used: www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/html/heatind.... But there are a number of different heat index metrics, which I would also like to compare here.

That's interesting. It mentions a point beyond which the equation becomes invalid. I couldn't see the values--are they becoming more prevalent? I'd imagine that might be an issue going forward. Thanks for doing this.
