760 mmHg.
Relative air pressure
relative barometric
pressure
Relative air pressure is the absolute air pressure
compensated for the altitude of the barometer. The
result is what the air pressure would be at sea level.
Ultra violet index The ultraviolet index or UV-Index (UVI) is an
international standard measurement of the strength of
sunburn-producing ultraviolet (UV) radiation at a
particular place and time. The purpose of the UV
Index is to help people effectively protect themselves
from UV radiation. The UV Index is a linear scale,
with higher values representing a greater risk of
sunburn (which is correlated with other health risks)
due to UV exposure. An index of 0 corresponds to
zero UV radiation, as is essentially the case at night.
An index of 10 corresponds roughly to midday
summer sunlight with a clear sky when the UV Index
was originally designed, but values above 10 are
sometimes possible. Levels above 8 are considered
“very high” and above 11 are considered “extreme.”
Wind chill Wind chill (popularly wind chill factor) is the
lowering of body temperature due to the passing-flow
of lower-temperature air. In other words, the air
“feels” colder than it is because of the chilling effect
of the wind on the skin.
