What is "Wet-bulb globe temperature"
The wet-bulb globe temperature is a measure of the heat stress in direct sunlight, which takes into account: temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle and solar radiation. It is used to determine appropriate exposure levels to high temperatures.
*(28-31℃) means the temperature is greater than or equal to 28 degrees Celsius, and is less than or equal to 31 degrees Celsius. (25-28℃) means the temperature is greater than or equal to 25 degrees Celsius, and is less than or equal to 28 degrees Celsius.
