Feels Like: Difference between revisions

Cumulus MX from version 3.6.0 fully supports the latest "Feels Like" definition as agreed by the Joint Action Group for temperature Indices (JAG/TI). The rest of this article was written before this was available, and discusses a way of picking between the alternative measures listed below, based on the current weather conditions. The '''JAG/TI feels like''' scale effectively uses '''wind chill''' below 10 degrees Celsius, '''apparent temperature''' above 20 degrees C, and blends the two values between 10 and 20 degrees C. The script described below is less sophisticated, it just uses Wind Chill for when it is most appropriate, and heat index for when it is most appropriate, using apparent temperature in-between, with no blending.
