As the mercury rises to new heights, it’s time to educate yourself on the very real dangers of a wet bulb event. Scientists predict that these deadly weather conditions could soon strike in the ...
It’s called the “wet bulb globe temperature.” This is a cousin of the heat index, or the “feels like” temperature. But although both are temperature metrics that determine heat risk to ...
The wet bulb globe temperature scores high marks simply because it’s a comprehensive measurement. It takes into account many factors that the heat index does not, like solar radiation.
The analysis calculated an approximate form of “wet-bulb globe temperature,” a metric that combines temperature, humidity, sunlight and wind. Scientists consider it the gold standard for ...
A prototype electronic instrument for the direct measurement of the wet-bulb globe-thermometer index is described. An assessment is made of its accuracy, as compared with W.B.G.T. indices calculated ...
Almost 90 per cent of stadiums hosting the 2026 World Cup could face potentially dangerous levels of heat, Queen’s University ...
A recent study sheds light on the relationship between irrigation practices and heat stress management among farm workers in ...
Scotland is hoping to reach its first World Cup in nearly 30 years with the US, Canada and Mexico hosting the global football ...
The on-site WGBT values are significantly higher than those measured by the Japan Meteorological Agency weather station, particularly for hard and sand-filled artificial grass courts, highlighting ...
We analysed performance data in relation to the environmental conditions to identify potential association. Methods Wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) parameters were obtained at the centre of the ...
Introduction The current occupational exposure to heat and hot environment standard of Thai law was issued in 2006. The wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) index was defined for 3 workload levels ...
A report from Queen’s University Belfast warning about the dangers of playing in high temperatures at the World Cup in 2026 ...
