temperature-humidity index [′tem·prə·chər hyü′mid·ədē ‚in‚deks]

(meteorology)

An index which gives a numerical value, in the general range of 70-80, reflecting outdoor atmospheric conditions of temperature and humidity as a measure of comfort (or discomfort) during the warm season of the year; equal to 15 plus 0.4 times the sum of the dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit. Also known as comfort index; discomfort index. Abbreviated CI; DI; THI.
