The issues are not related. 1. maxSolarRad is a theoretical calculation, based on your latitude and the time of day. It is not measured. 2. The algorithm for calculating heat index was changed to the new NWS algorithm <https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/html/heatindex_equation.shtml>. I must admit, I don't like it either, because it can show values below sensible temperatures. I'm thinking of allowing the user to make a choice between algorithms.
