Stata program to get heat index for given dry bulb temperature and relative humidity
program define gen_heat_index
* Calculat heat index
* See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_index. Note that there is no exact heat index formula
* since it is defined by the table. There are approximations, but this code uses the table itself.
* The only modification is that I cap at 140.
