# Dairy and livestock heat stress plan

For one farm location and species. The hourly forecast from step 1 is the backbone of the plan.

## 1. Hour-by-hour stress

1. Read @[National Weather Service · Forecast hourly](alexandria:api-weather-gov/weather/forecast_hourly) (hours 72): temperature and relative humidity. Compute THI per hour with THI = 0.8 x T(C) + RH/100 x (T(C) - 14.4) + 46.4. Flag hours above 68 (mild stress for dairy cows), 72 and 80.
2. Note whether night-time THI drops below 68; animals that cannot cool at night lose the most production.

## 2. How unusual

3. Compare the week's forecast highs with the month's normal from @[NASA POWER · Climate normals](alexandria:power-larc-nasa-gov/weather-history/climate_normals) and recent days from @[ACIS · Daily weather history](alexandria:rcc-acis-org/weather-history/daily_weather_history). Several hot days in a row compound stress.
4. Check @[National Weather Service · Alerts active](alexandria:api-weather-gov/weather/alerts_active) for heat advisories.

## 3. Who to call

5. Find large-animal vets and feed or ice suppliers near the farm with @[Maps · Business search](alexandria:firecrawl-maps/businesses/search) (query `large animal veterinarian`, `feed store`) and note hours and ratings.

- THI thresholds vary by species and breed. State the ones used.
- **Sources:** cite every figure to the capability and record it came from. Say what could not be found rather than guessing.
