(Aug. 31, 2017) -- As a general rule, when the humidity approaches 50% or goes above and the air temp rises above 80 degrees, it begins to produce a "heat index," making it feel hotter than what the air temp shows.

LBREPORT.com has a heat index calculator at this link linked on our front page (right column, under our in-motion Doppler Weather Radar image.)

To use our Heat Index calculator:

1. Get the current temperature and humidity data (many sources, we use Nat'l Weather Service conditions/hourly readings at LB Airport recorded at :53 into each hour.)
2. Enter the temperature and humidity in the heat index calculator at this link then click "calculate."

(If you're closer to the coast, the air temp for you will likely be a few degrees cooler than the air temp measured north of Spring St. west of Lakewood Blvd.)
