(NEXSTAR) – That’s a cold move, Good Humor.Good Humor, the ice cream brand that was once synonymous with frozen treats and the trucks that sold them, has confirmed the discontinuation of a longtime offering: the Toasted Almond bar.

Heat index explained: How do meteorologists calculate why you feel hot?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:51:29 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) - With blistering heat this summer, you've likely heard a few people say "it's not the head, it's the humidity." Turns out both things are true: it's called the Heat Index.The heat index is used to calculate not the actual temperature of the air around you, but instead how hot you feel. This all comes down to sweat.When the body gets too hot, it sweats to cool itself off. Beads of sweat form, then evaporate off of your skin. As they evaporate, they pull the heat away with them. When it is more humid outside, sweat has a harder time evaporating. If the sweat can't evaporate, then your body can not regulate its temperature. What is humidity? This means you can't get cool and the temperature around you feels warmer. This feeling is called the heat index.Calculating the heat indexTo calculate the heat index, meteorologists use a complicated formula:HI = -42.379 + 2.04901523*T + 10.14333127*RH - .22475541*T*RH - .00683783*T*T - .05481717*RH*RH + .00122874*T*T*RH + .00085...
