relative humidity from a network of iButton data loggers (Thermochrons DS1921G
and Hygrochrons DS1923-F5#, Maxim Integrated, San Jose, CA) deployed in 12
urban informal settlements in Makassar, Indonesia. Approximately 60 data
loggers were deployed per settlement both indoors and outdoors, totalling
778 successfully deployed loggers.</p>

<p>Here we publish temperature and humidity measurements collected between 01/11/18
and 31/05/2019. We also publish heat stress metrics calculated from this data,
including wet bulb temperature and wet bulb globe temperature. Finally, we
publish data from the same calculations made with weather station data (raw
data is available from the Integrated Surface Database, NOAA National Centers
for Environmental Information).</p><br><p></p>
