The Role of Humidity in Associations of High Temperature with Mortality: A Multicountry, Multicity Study

There is strong experimental evidence that physiologic stress from high temperatures is greater if humidity is higher. However, heat indices developed to allow for this have not consistently predicted mortality better than dry-bulb temperature. We aimed to clarify the potential contribution of humid...
