Wview calculating the heat index

[Marcio Malacarne]

Hi,

Anyone know what formula wview uses?

Thank you

It's the first formula presented in Wikipedia
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_index#Formula) using the primary
set of constants. The formula is applied to temperatures above 75 F.

thank you,
it seems to me that the "autralian heat index" is simpler and that it is closer to the climate in Brazil.

Where is the file that calculates it?

It's calculated in wvutilsCalculateHeatIndex() in common/wvutils.c.

There's no problem modifying this. I changed this too, as the original
formula is discontinuous at the edge temperature of 75 F.

I just realized that you referenced a formula for wind chill. This is
something completely different from heat index. In wview this is
calculated in wvutilsCalculateWindChill() in common/wvutils.c. Wview
uses the US version. Modified that one too, as it is discontinuous :-)
