#' weathermetrics: Functions to convert between weather metrics
#'
#' The weathermetics package provides functions to convert between Celsius
#'     and Fahrenheit, to convert between dew point temperature and relative
#'     humidity, and to calculate heat index.
#'
#' @section weathermetrics functions:
#' This package includes the following functions to calculate vectors of
#'    weather metrics: \code{\link{celsius.to.fahrenheit}},
#'    \code{\link{fahrenheit.to.celsius}},
#'    \code{\link{dewpoint.to.humidity}},
#'    \code{\link{humidity.to.dewpoint}}, and
#'    \code{\link{heat.index}}.
