1. What Is Real Feel Temperature?

Real Feel temperature, also known as apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity and wind speed are factored in with the actual air temperature.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses different formulas based on conditions:

Heat Index: Calculated when temperature ≥27°C and humidity provided

Wind Chill: Calculated when temperature ≤10°C and wind speed provided

3. Importance Of Real Feel Calculation

Details: Real feel temperature helps people better understand how weather conditions will actually feel, which is important for health and safety planning, especially during extreme weather conditions.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter temperature in °C. For hot conditions, provide humidity percentage. For cold conditions, provide wind speed in km/h. The calculator will automatically determine the appropriate calculation method.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between actual temperature and real feel?
A: Actual temperature is what thermometers measure, while real feel accounts for how humans perceive temperature based on humidity and wind.

Q2: When is heat index used vs wind chill?
A: Heat index is used in warm/humid conditions, wind chill in cold/windy conditions.

Q3: Why does humidity make it feel hotter?
A: High humidity reduces sweat evaporation, making it harder for the body to cool itself.

Q4: Why does wind make it feel colder?
A: Wind removes the thin layer of warm air around our bodies, accelerating heat loss.

Q5: Are there health risks associated with extreme real feel temperatures?
A: Yes, extreme heat index can lead to heat exhaustion/stroke, while extreme wind chill increases risk of frostbite and hypothermia.
