Chronic heat stress in tropical urban informal settlements

We recorded in situ measurements of air temperature and 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.

Here we publish temperature and humidity measurements collected between 01/11/18 and 31/05/2019. This code was used to calculate wet bulb temperature and wet bulb globe temperature from the iButton data and complimentary weather station data (raw data is available from the Integrated Surface Database, NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information).
