Where these numbers come from
WeatherAPI supplies the forecast. HeatGuard calculates heat-index risk and models WBGT from forecast temperature, humidity and a daytime solar allowance. Modeled WBGT is not an on-site globe-thermometer reading.
Local planning context
Planning for heat in Albuquerque, NM
In Albuquerque, dry air can make sweat disappear quickly while direct sun and hot pavement add strain that a shaded heat-index reading does not capture. Compare the hourly trend and avoid assuming lower humidity means low risk.
Forecasts describe outdoor conditions, not an individual's medical risk. Workload, duration, shade, clothing, acclimatization and health can change the appropriate decision.
