Difference between Feels Like temp and Apparent temp

Post by MaxLaMenace69 »

Hello friends,

I have a fondamental question:
What is the difference between apparente temp and feels like temp ?
Some explication on the net explain that this is the same thing's, but my weather station don't give the same value.
For me the apparent temp is the temperature you feel like (a mix of the real temperature and the wind and the humidity) , and the values of apparent temp I observe on my station correspond to this sensation.
If you have a good explanation about the difference between this 2 values will help me (a french guy )

Thank's for all,

Regards,
Max La Menace

@sfws: I don't know if you are still interested, but I asked Ken to install the Wiki Math extension. The formula's can now be displayed using the <Math>-tag for the Wiki which makes formula's much more readable (not to be used in code segments of course).

As an example you may look here.

@sfws: Tone down a bit. Tbh, I am not interested in your litany of how often apparently I pointed to the math and how often you were not able or refused to. You are the one who did the most on the Wiki - for which everybody is and should be grateful yes - and you still do your share (see recent changes). Don't say you are no longer interested. If you are not interested: pull back and don't reply, edit or whatever. As long as you keep editing, I suppose you are interested. I have my own share of workload and am not native English speaking so the Wiki is not my part. If you can't handle the math-tag, you should have asked for help. You did not.

And don't do things to 'please others'. Do something because it is worthwhile.
