Assignment task: Humidex/Heat Index Familiarize yourself with the heat humidex/heat index (4CE, pp. 136-138 (3CE, also in Focus Study 5.1). The humidex is a Canadian innovation. It was devised by Canadian meteorologists to describe how hot, humid weather feels to the average person. The humidex combines the temperature and humidity into one number to reflect the perceived temperature. Because it takes into account the two most important factors that affect summer comfort, it can be a better measure of how stifling the air feels than either temperature or humidity alone. Extremely high readings are rare except in the southern regions of Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec. Generally, the humidex decreases as latitude increases. Range of humidex: Degree of comfort Less than 29 Celsius: No discomfort 30 to 39 Celsius: Some discomfort 40 to 45 Celsius: Great discomfort; avoid exertion Above 45 Celsius: Dangerous Above 54 Celsius: Heat stroke imminent Knowing this, and considering the Table (4CE Figure 5.18, p. 138 (3CE Table 5.1.1, p.127)), in conditions with a high humidex, All unnecessary activity should be curtailed (true or false) Group of answer choices True False
