Bioenvironmental engineering team defends against the heatwave with exact measurements

A QUESTemp 32 Area Heat Stress Monitor measures air temperature, humidity, wind speed and sun angle at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, June 25, 2026. The Department of the Air Force uses WBGT measurements to establish work-rest cycles and other protective measures during periods of elevated heat stress. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
