"We examined the risk of extreme heat by modeling Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT)—a widely used measure of heat stress—for ...

As incidents of extreme weather during racing become more common, the UCI's guidelines will likely take effect more often ...

There is a lower chance of heatwave during the 2025 hot season from March to May, but above-normal temperatures are still ...

The analysis calculated an approximate form of “wet-bulb globe temperature,” a metric that combines temperature, humidity, sunlight and wind. Scientists consider it the gold standard for ...

Guidelines for the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature Index Heat stress levels will be assessed by measuring the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature Index (WBGT) which takes into account environmental factors such as ...

How is the temperature measured? It’s measured by Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), and not “regular” temperature or heat index. The WBGT is a more involved measurement, which takes into ...

These include opening up areas in the community which will act as "cooling spaces" with air-conditioning that members of the ...

The on-site WGBT values are significantly higher than those measured by the Japan Meteorological Agency weather station, particularly for hard and sand-filled artificial grass courts, highlighting ...

FIFA World Cup fast approaching, some researchers are sounding the alarm bell about the risk posed by extreme heat in many of the 16 ...

We analysed performance data in relation to the environmental conditions to identify potential association. Methods Wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) parameters were obtained at the centre of the ...
