How does the weather app distinguish the actual weather, from what it ‘feels like’?

156 views

I feel dumb but… how is the weather not just automatically what it ‘feels like’? Or how does outside not ‘feel like’ the actual weather? Also who is the God that determines the number that the weather feels like? Because it can be different for everyone. Hope you guys understand my drift, i’m confusing myself the more i think about it.

Our bodies naturally lose heat, especially when it’s windy. This means if it’s hot and windy we’ll cool down quickly, but if it’s cold and windy we’ll feel extra cold. Thermometers don’t lose heat like humans, they just measure the temperature. The “feels like” temperature is factoring the temperature, plus how factors like the wind make us feel.
