Estimates, Not Guarantees — Follow Official Advisories

Heat guidance, calculator results, and weather information on Canicular are informational only and may be incomplete or out of date. Real-world conditions vary by your specific location, current weather, your own health and heat tolerance, and individual circumstances, and forecasts and conditions change over time. Before you make significant decisions about your activity, exposure, or safety in the heat, you should use your own judgment and follow official heat advisories and warnings from sources such as the National Weather Service (NWS) and your local health authorities. Weather, heat risk, and personal tolerance depend on many factors; always do your own due diligence.

Tool Accuracy and Limitations

Calculation Accuracy

Our heat and weather calculators and tools provide estimates based on standard meteorological conventions, the figures you enter, widely-accepted formulas, and common guidelines. Results should be used as starting points and general guidance, not absolute values or guaranteed outcomes.

Factors Affecting Accuracy

Actual conditions may vary significantly due to:

• Weather Factors: Temperature, humidity, wind, cloud cover, and how conditions change over the course of a day.
• Location & Environment: Elevation, shade, urban heat, and local circumstances, and how each affects how hot it feels.
• Personal Factors: Age, health, hydration, acclimatization, activity level, and how each affects your own heat tolerance.
• Measurement Factors: Self-reported figures, rounding, estimation, and differences between estimated and actual numbers.

Our Recommendations

For best results in the heat:

• Use tool results as starting points and general guidance, not absolute values.
• Always consider your specific location, health, and circumstances.
• Check important decisions against an official heat advisory before you act.
• Consult trusted health resources and official warnings for specific questions.
• Compare multiple sources to improve future decisions.
