I'm thrilled to introduce Shams, a name derived from the Arabic word for "sun." Shams is a groundbreaking heatwave detector that I developed using the innovative concept of wet bulb temperature. Unlike traditional methods that rely solely on temperature, Shams accurately measures heatwaves by considering both temperature and humidity.
Key features:
Real-time data from OpenWeatherMap API
Accurate heatwave warnings based on wet bulb temperature (safe limit: <30°C)
Recent alarming data:
Sholapur: 40°C + 53% humidity = 31.54°C wet bulb
Jalgaon: 46.8°C + 29% humidity = 30.72°C wet bulb
Shams is still in its early stages and needs a sleek interface. If you’re passionate about climate tech and want to contribute, let’s collaborate!
Join me in revolutionizing how we detect and respond to heatwaves.
