Wet Bulb Global Temperature (WBGT)
WBGT is calculated from:
• the dry (standard thermometer) temperature
• the wet-bulb temperature (which indicates the true capacity of the air to evaporate water according to its relative humidity and velocity)
• the solar radiation (globe temperature)
WBGT was initially developed for use in military personnel.
