  • We calculate humidity-adjusted CDD and HDD, NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) Heat Index (HI) is used to measure the human-perceived equivalent temperature.

  • It is calculated through a multiple regression analysis of Steadman’s equations for wind and solar radiation by using only two independent variables, ambient temperature (T) and relative humidity (Rh).

  • To calculate the NWS HI, the regression analyses is applied to the relationships among wind and solar radiation with independent variables T and Rh.

  • The dataset could be used by researchers who model residential electricity demand, studies of energy efficiency, and policymakers to base their potential policy scenarios on weather conditions.
