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 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Rio de Janeiro can combine intense sun, humidity and strenuous outdoor activity across beaches, worksites and sports settings. Brazil calls the WBGT method IBUTG and provides a national occupational-heat monitoring tool for outdoor workers.

Forecasts describe outdoor conditions, not an individual's medical risk. Workload, duration, shade, clothing, acclimatization and health can change the appropriate decision.
