Why does weather forecast give “it feels like x degree” then the actual temperatures?
In: Other
Humidity plays a big role in the temperature we experience. The “Actual” temperature is the temperature of the air itself, but the air is filled with water droplets. Water is significantly better at storing and transferring heat then most of the gases in the air, and so will absorb more of the suns energy. For example, today where i live its 27C (81F) outside, but there is 60% humidity, meaning theres a lot of water in the air. So the felt temperature is closer to 35c (95F).
