Hello,
i am writing an assigment about endurance, where i am cycling for 1 month (cca. 16 tranings 2 day training successively; 1 day rest) and as a bonus i am trying to find colleration with weather and my cylcling time, avg., max. heart rate... (For example when the temperature was above 25 degrees my avg. HR was incereased...) Sadly weather isnt as simple as saying 20 degrees celcius is hot and 10 is cold and it becomes complicated with humiditity, wind, sun... The lap i am cyciling basically negates the effect of wind (for example if wind is blowing one way it helps me in the first half and its harder the second half) and geting accurate wind measurments is basically impossible. Still i want to know if there is an index, a formula that would accurately portray the effect of temperature and humidity? 30 degrees in 90% humidity with the sun out is not the same as 30 degrees with 30% humidity, so i was personally thinking of just putting this into "weather" units meaning 30 degrees and 90% would be 120 weather units, while the latter would be 60 weather units, in this case i would atleast have a more accurate scale. Maybe something like sun being out and shining on me for the whole ride would be a (multiplier)*2. I dont know, so i am askig if there is a formula that already connects atleast temperature and humidity. Thank you.
Let's explain it easily. Relative humidity (RH) is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air. More precisely, the amount of water vapor contained in the air, expressed as a percentage (%RH), is also related to temperature: at 30 °C, the volume of air can contain up to 4 percent water vapor, while at -40 °C. C Air can hold no more than 0.2 percent water vapor.
In other words, relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air divided by the amount of water vapor in the air at that temperature. This varies with the air temperature: cooler air contains less vapor. Therefore, changing the air temperature can change the %RH even though the amount of water vapor in the air remains constant.
Formula for calculating relative humidity
The Climate Index is used to simulate climate anomalies at different space-time scales. There is a study by Ortiz Bultó (http://rcm.insmet.cu/index.php/rcm/article/view/315) that can help you better understand this term and provide tools of interest.
