I agree. I won't try and argue but it's nice to know how cold I will feel when outside.

Wind chill is only defined for temperatures below 10°C (50°F). Heat index is defined only for temperatures above 27°C (81°F). You need both measurements for apparent temperature. You're making an apples to oranges comparison.

The proprietary apparent temperature indices, like FeelsLike, use both of these factors and then probably also account for solar radiation, but their methods are trade secrets.

Your entire complaint is based on a profound misunderstanding.

Why did he have a falling out with laura loomer? I didnt know she was still influential

Ba dum tssss

it wasn't really that way when I made an account.

15 years ago.

in fact, you would routinely see people posting about the reddiquette when people would get blasted with downvotes who were posting legitimately to the conversation.

I live in the windiest city on the planet which faces regular southerly winds which blast straight into it across open ocean.

Wind chill factor is very correct.

It’s been that way since long before I made an account.

15 years ago.

I can still yell at clouds though, right?

sometimes it's fair. downvotes are supposed to be for posts that don't add to the discussion, not for people you don't agree with. at least, that was the original intention. nowadays, it's effectively a like and dislike button.

Ugh. I hate seeing Steven Crowder’s punchable fascism-propagandist face.

We use wet bulb in determining whether high school sports can practice/play in California. I work at a school in a hot, dry climate so we’ll have a 100°F day, but they can play because it’s so dry out that the wet bulb reading is only like 70°.

That dry air means the sweat on your skin will evaporate quickly, cooling your body more effectively. So even though it’s hot as shit, your body can cool itself well (if you’re hydrated). That same temp with like 80% humidity is potentially deadly because that sweat just sticks on your skin and doesn’t cool you.

I downvote anyone complaining about downvotes.

Are there apps/sites that only show feels like? I feel like everything I use and see has the actual temperature big and bold and all the extra description stuff is all the fluff.

So your argument is if you are used to a thing because it's consistent, it's wrong to say it feels like how others would feel the temperature with different conditions?

The big news is run by billionaires. FOX has no issue running fake shit all day every day without consequence

"She said 'If I have to deal with ugly assholes, I might as well switch to proctology.' You scared her away, sir."

I say let’s go a step further, let’s do %water vapor of the air. Water vapor % rises exponentially with dew point. A 79F (3% water vapor!) dew point holds drastically more water than 69F, but most people wouldn’t think too much about a 10F difference. 1% water vapor is a nice comfort level without being too dry on the skin.

Come to Kansas in February. You’ll see the difference between 10°F on a calm day vs a 30mph day. Wind chill is based on a mathematical formula. Wind carries heat away from your body faster than no wind. Frostbite occurs much sooner with wind and cold than calm and cold.

I think you’re confusing heat index with how heat warnings are issued. Heat index doesn’t change based on what the normal climate is like. 105° heat index is the same in Boston or Phoenix. But a heat warning changes based on the normal climate. If phoenix had a 105 heat index they wouldn’t have a heat warning because people are acclimated to that temp. But if Boston had a 105 heat index they would have a heat warning since people aren’t used to that kind of heat.

The flaw in the logic is that it's not just some guys going "ehhhh, well I think it feels like 15 instead of 20 today".

Wind causes the body to lose heat faster. The current wind chill index is derived from a mathematical formula obtained by experts factoring in things like heat transfer rate from skin under certain conditions. It's not anything arbitrary at all. You don't have to have any concept of "wind" to be able to feel what appears to be the same temperature with and without wind. It has nothing to do with "what no wind is like".

And the same goes for how humidity affects hotter temperatures. It's not arbitrary. It's mathematical.

40°F and 65% RH equals a dew point of 29°F. Anything below 50°F dew point is considered dry air. 29° dew point IS very dry. That’s why dew point is the superior measure of humidity, it doesn’t matter what the temp is, dry is dry.

I don't think many people remember the pre-digg migration. Like I started using reddit in 2012 and yes redditequette was a "thing" people talked about but the downvote button was almost always a "I disagree with this comment" button (except maybe on very niche subs of which I wasn't really ever in.)

Humidex and windchill is all you need

Humidex and wind chill are the best.
