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 Kaohsiung, Taiwan
Kaohsiung's long hot season, humidity and strong solar exposure can create sustained heat stress for outdoor work and sport. Compare this forecast-based WBGT trend with Taiwan's official heat-stress information before extended activity.
Forecasts describe outdoor conditions, not an individual's medical risk. Workload, duration, shade, clothing, acclimatization and health can change the appropriate decision.
