What makes the difference between “what the temperature feels like” and “actual temperature”?

209 views

Most of the time on weather forecasts it says the actual temperature with a similar temp that shows “What It Feels Like” and it actually does feel hotter or colder that day just like what it says. But I am wondering what factors make up why it is different and how do meteorologists tell.

Temperature is the true temperature of the air.

Feels-like factors in the fact that we humans are hotter than the air, and wind or moisture affect our abilities to stay warm.
