Feels Like/24-hr Difference Fix?

Post by William Grimsley »

Hi Ken,

My Feels Like and 24-hr Difference values seem to have no decimal places when they are for example 6.0c! Instead they show 6c. Is there a way you can put in a decimal point variable into the ajax-dashboard.php script in order to show, for the Feels Like and 24-hr Difference values to change them to 6.0c?

Thanks

Will

Will, it's not a bug, it's a feature :)

The 'Feels Like' temperature is intended to be an approximation of what temperature it feels like on human skin given the temperature, humidity and wind. Few people can discern 0.1C temperature difference so having that additional precision is meaningless .. all 'feels like' temperatures like 'Apparent Temperature', 'Wind Chill', 'Heat Index', or the unitless Humidex are usually quoted as whole numbers for that reason.

Hi Ken,

Ok, I understand that. I've deleted the 24-hr Difference variable as I felt it wasn't that important to me. :D

Thanks

Will
