Apparent Vs Feels Like

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Apparent Vs Feels Like

Post by Big Daddy »

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.
