 WBGT, stands for wet bulb globe temperature, is an index introduced from three elements related to biological heat balance: temperature, humidity, and heat radiation. It is originally calculated from dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, and black globe temperature.

This device simply calculates WBGT from temperature and humidity based on the following guideline, and shows either one of the four levels of caution.
