Trying to find if these 2 values are related, just a different calculation, whats the difference etc.

This evening there is a 2.4 degree difference in these 2 figures, so is it apparantley 1.5 but feels like 3.9. I understand that this calcualation takes in to account a few factors. Current temperature is 4.8.

Is there a preference which to use.

The Met Office use 'Feels Like'

That's what I have stuck to for a long time. Mark has improved the calculation of this, significantly.
