    Solved: Heat Index Formula

    Here's a handy Heat Index Formula, to help those who are enduring the cold of winter:


    =ROUND(16.923+((1.85212*(10^-1))*A2)+(5.37941*B2)- ((1.00254*(10^-1))*A2*B2)+
    (9.41695*(10^-3)*(A2^2))+(7.28898*(10^-3)*(B2^2))+ (3.45372*(10^-4)*(A2^2)*B2)-
    (8.14971*(10^-4)*A2*(B2^2))+(1.02102*(10^-5)*(A2^2)* (B2^2))-(3.8646*(10^-5)*(A2^3))+
    (2.91583*(10^-5)*(B2^3))+(1.42721*(10^-6)*(A2^3)*B2)+ (1.97483*(10^-7)*A2*(B2^3))-
    (2.18429*(10^-8)*(A2^3)*(B2^2))+(8.43296*(10^-10)* (A2^2)*(B2^3))-(4.81975* (10^-11)*(A2^3)*(B2^3)),0)

    Think that might help?

    A2 has Temp, B2 has Humidity, i.e. temp of 103 degrees and 40% humidity results in 118 degrees Heat Index.

    BTW, I haven't see anything about a Wind Chill Index (Temp and Wind to give an "effective" measure of cold). Anyone have that?

    Folks -

    The Wind Chill Formula

    A2 put current temp
    B2 put wind speed
    C2 =35.74+0.6215*$A2-35.75*($B2^0.16)+0.4275*$A2*($B2^0.16)

    Thanks,

    Kurt

    Thanks, Kurt. Now I can feel colder or hotter depending on the season. And all relying on XL instead of the TV.
