Ambient temperature and wet bulb globe temperature outperform heat index in predicting hydration status and heat perception in a semi-arid environment

Ambient temperature and wet bulb globe temperature outperform heat index in predicting hydration status and heat perception in a semi-arid environment

Background Climate change is increasing temperatures, frequency of heatwaves, and erratic rainfall, which threatens human biology and health, particularly in already extreme environments. Therefore, it is important to understand how environmental heat stress measures are tied to human water needs an...
