Global Humidity Index Calculator

A web application that calculates and visualizes the Global Humidity Index (GHI) based on dew point temperatures. The GHI provides an intuitive way to understand humidity comfort levels across different locations.

Features

• Real-time GHI calculation based on dew point
• City comparison with side-by-side visualization
• Color-coded comfort levels
• Historical data viewing (yesterday's noon data)
• Interactive charts for temperature, dew point, and humidity comparison
• Dark/Light theme support

Comfort Levels

The GHI uses the following comfort scale based on dew point temperatures:

• Below 10°C: Dry (#5ECBFC)
• 10-15°C: Very comfortable (#62FF3B)
• 15-18°C: Comfortable (#CBFF73)
• 20°C: Alright (#FFFF9E)
• 21-24°C: Uncomfortable (#FFD239)
• 24-26°C: Very uncomfortable (#FF981E)
• Over 26°C: Severely uncomfortable (#FF6610)
