Practical guides on WBGT, heat stress, heat-risk thresholds, forecasting, workplace heat safety, sports heat safety, and personal heat risk.
Start with the core explainers, then use the practical guides for work, sports, events, and outdoor planning.
Core explainers
Start here for the science and decision-making context behind WBGT and heat stress.
What is Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT)?
What WBGT measures, how it differs from air temperature, and why humidity, radiant heat, and wind matter.
PhysiologyUnderstanding Heat Stress
How the body gains and loses heat, why heat strain varies by person, and what prevention looks like.
ThresholdsUnderstanding WBGT Thresholds
Why WBGT action levels are useful, why they are not universal, and how policies vary by setting.
ForecastingForecasting Wet Bulb Globe Temperature
How WBGT forecasts support planning, where uncertainty enters, and how to use forecasts responsibly.
Practical planning guides
Focused guides for common heat-safety questions and operational use cases.
Heat Index vs WBGT
When heat index is useful, when WBGT is more relevant, and how to choose the right metric.
WorkplaceWorkplace Heat Safety
Pre-shift planning for outdoor crews, including workload, PPE, acclimatization, shade, breaks, and policy.
SportsSports Heat Safety
Planning practices, camps, tournaments, and events around WBGT, equipment, duration, and medical support.
Personal riskAcclimatization and Personal Heat Risk
Why the same WBGT can affect people differently depending on heat exposure, health, medications, and workload.
Applied examples
Examples that show how WBGT adds useful context for specific weather events and planning decisions.
