A new study reveals how extreme heat impacts the human body. Researchers examined the body's response to rising heat and ...

Even without reaching heat wave levels, sustained high temperatures may contribute to a litany of health issues.

In this case, a person does not sweat enough to lower body temperature. The elderly, infants, persons who work outdoors, people with mental illness, obesity, poor circulation, and those on certain ...

Fact checked by Jennifer Klump Extreme heat can contribute to heat exhaustion, heat stroke, heat cramps, and death, but the temperature only tells part of the story. Humidity can make heat waves even ...

Airborne TIR remote sensing can obtain land surface temperature (LST) with high spatial resolution. However, the swath width of airborne stripes is usually limited. Therefore, it is necessary to ...

A hot day on the lake changed drastically and became rather scary for one family, after their toddler contracted E. coli from the water. Now, they're warning other parents as they're still dealing ...

This paper presents two new schemes for interpolating missing samples in satellite temperature cycles. The first scheme, referred to here as the cosine model, is an improvement model proposed by ...

The golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei, Mollusca: Bivalvia) is an invasive species that has been causing considerable environmental and economic problems in South America. In the present study, ...

The normal human body temperature is mainly around 98.6 degrees fahrenheit but it can vary a bit depending on the person, the time of day and even by the way you measure it.

Temperature variability (TV) refers to short-term fluctuations in ambient temperature that may exert additional stress on human health, beyond the effects of mean or extreme temperatures alone.

In brief: In today’s post we discuss the best tool we have for determining “heat” during the summer time months, something called the wet bulb globe temperature. And we’re going to need this tool for ...
