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

164 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.

Say it’s a cold day but the sun is out, and there’s no clouds or wind. The actual temperature may be high fifties, but being in the sun it might feel warmer- more like the mid sixties.

The inverse is also applicable. It could be in the mid fifties but it’s cloudy and there’s a breeze- it’s going to feel colder than it actually is because of the varied conditions. The “feels like” number is just a guesstimate based on what we know certain temperatures to feel like
