Other UV-related health problems such as cataracts and immune system suppression do not relate to skin type. Exposure to UV rays can cause numerous health problems, such as sunburn, skin cancer and other skin damage, cataracts, and can suppress the immune system. The Health EnviroMonitor can help analyze the changing levels of UV radiation and can serve to warn of situations where exposure is particularly unacceptable. The UV Index assigns a number between 1 and 16 for the current UV intensity. The lower number the lower the danger of sunburn.
Temperature plays an important part in the consumption of energy to cool a house or other structure.
When humidity is high the apparent temperature is higher than the air temperature. Wind run is a measure of the amount of wind which passes a given point during the measurement period. To calculate wind run, multiply the MPH by the length of time in the measurement period. For example 10 MPH for 12 hours would be 120 miles of wind run. The GroWeather uses air temperature, relative humidity, wind run, pressure and solar radiation data to estimate ETo.
