If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Great question, Alan! The humidex was developed by Canadian meteorologists and was first used in 1965 to describe the impact of high humidity on human comfort. A warm day will feel even warmer when the humidity is high because our perspiration does not evaporate as readily when the humidity is high.
Evaporation is a cooling process that we all experience when we step out of the shower or the pool and rush to grab a towel. Perspiration is our body’s natural attempt to avoid overheating, but when that sweat cannot evaporate as quickly, the heat will have a greater impact on us.
A humidex over 40 is considered to be extreme and Environment Canada recommends that all unnecessary outdoor activity be curtailed under those conditions. When the humidex reaches the mid to upper 30s, rigorous outdoor activity should be reduced with special attention paid to the age and health of the individual.
During the mid-July heat wave in southern and central Ontario, the humidex reached 47 in St. Catharines and mid-40s were reported at numerous other locations. Especially noteworthy was that the humidex did not drop below the mid-30s for several nights in a row at several locations, especially in the Toronto area. Ref: The Weather Network Thus it was that my Great Grandfather had need to build an icehouse..!
