Recommended assumptions in the calculation the meteo-based 187 TSIs for practicality or when no data are available.

ID	Assumption	Value	Assumption
1	We calculated wind at altitude using a friction coefficient for “high crops, hedges and shrubs”. [166]	α = 0.20
2	We set a standard value for workers’ body stature. [167]	Height = 1.80 m
3	We set a standard value for workers’ body mass. [168]	Weight = 75 kg
4	We assume a comfortable barometric pressure (sea level). [169]	P = 1016 hPa
5	Mean skin temperature was estimated as a function of air temperature. [112]	Tsk = f (Ta)
6	We set a constant emissivity of the body / clothing. [167]	ε = 0.97
7	We set a constant effective radiating area of the body (standing posture). [167]	Ar = 0.77
8	We assume a constant core temperature. This can be modified as needed.	Tcr = 37.3
9	Clothing insulation was estimated as a function of air temperature.	Icl = f (Ta)

Note: Assumptions were not adopted for the computation of all TSIs
