I've recently learned that many people don't know about the NWS's handy Wet Bulb Globe Temperature calculator.

Were you perhaps like me in that you did sports or worked outdoors when you were younger and people were always telling you when you had to take breaks and then you became an adult who didn't know how the heck they figured that out so you just kind of guessed and then heat exhaustioned yourself one day forever leaving you low grade terrified of outdoor activities in the summer? No? Well even so...

Enter the WBGT.

Drop the pin on a given location.

Get the WBGT(F) number.

Go down to the little chart at the bottom.

And do what it says.

Please note this chart is for people who are reasonably healthy. If you've got an heat sensitive condition this is your absolutely floor. You should take more.

And what about for >80? It's individual but a lot of recommendations say a minimum of a 10-15 break every two hours.

Please note - this is not a static number given for the whole day. This is a dynamic number that changes throughout the day so you'll need to check it as close to when you start your activity and through out.

An uneventful summer but I always gotta explore the woods when I can ,, some lewks
