We explore the tools and indices used to assess weather stressors, such as the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), barometric pressure, humidity, and wind chill. These measurements help quantify environmental risks and predict physiological responses. Integrated indices like WBGT consider combined stressors, enabling effective planning for safety and performance in extreme environments.
