Ambient temperature and wet bulb globe temperature outperform heat index in predicting hydration status and heat perception in a semi-arid environment
Bibliographic Data
In a hot, semi-arid climate, ambient temperature and WBGT accurately predict human water needs and heat stress, with children more vulnerable to dehydration. To mitigate consequences of extreme heat, local bioculturally-appropriate hydration (e.g. tea) and cooling (e.g. shade) strategies should be encouraged
