Feels Like Temperature: What It Really Means and How It's Calculated

Measuring actual temperature consists of recording the air temperature from a thermometer that has been kept inside a Stevenson screen or by using any other appropriate instrument. “Feels like temperature,” on the other hand, is a calculated figure that considers several different factors apart from the temperature of the surrounding air. It gives people a better understanding of how they would feel if they actually went out in an area where the temperature had been recorded by a specific meteorological instrument.
The other factors taken into account by the “feels like temperature” are the speed and strength of wind, the temperature of the air, the relative humidity of the area, and the rate of heat loss from a human body when covered in clothes. When we combine all these factors and the measured temperature of the surrounding area, the final result is the so-called “feels like temperature.”

Loved the video, had never thought about this before, but is something we experience every day. My girlfriend always complains about the heat and i about the cold xd

If I could have a superpower it would be imperviousness to weather. So no matter what temp, wind, and/or precipitation values it is outside I would always be the same comfy temperature, warm, and feeling no winds. I would need no winter or any other kind of jacket, no umbrellas, and walking through multiple feet of snow would be exactly the same effort as if there were no snow at all. For me it would ALWAYS be a warm calm dry summer day, regardless of whatever actual nonsense is going on out there.
