The 'feels like' temperature, also called "heat index" or "apparent temperature", has no scientific basis and is used by mainstream media as a solely way to dramatize the weather, in order to fulfill the globalist and totalitarian agenda.
The "feels like" temperature is also symptomatic of a general trend in "woke" and globalist society: to value feelings more than facts...
One of the warning signs that this is pure bullshit is the fact that the news outlets don't actually tell us how they are calculating "apparent temperature", and a simple research will show you that, given the same weather data, different media outlets report different "feel like" temperatures...
Do your own research: no one seems to tell you how "feels like" is calculated...
You are given a number out of context and with no indication on how it is measured...
The "feels like", that is now being shoved down our throats, is a scam, and there is plenty of other evidence of this:
a) There is some science behind the "feels like" temperature. The scientific name for this is "wet bulb temperature"... And it is actually a function of both temperature and humidity. And it corresponds to the ability to use evaporative cooling to cool down (as the human body does). The effectiveness of this evaporative cooling decreases as the humidity increases.
However, the assumption that is made in the context of "feels like" is that your mind bases its estimation on temperature on zero humidity. Of course, this is ridiculous! None of us have any experience with a zero humidity environment...
b) Within the framework of the "feels like" fraud, there are no realistic conditions where 27 ºC (80 ºF) will ever "feel like" 27 ºC. That makes the whole idea silly.
c) Science can't quantify a feeling. Science does not have an answer for everything and creating a formula which claims to quantify a "feeling" illustrates the dressing-up of science for a goal to which it is unsuited and for which it will never fit. A feeling is specific to each individual. Science studies reproducible phenomena; this cannot, by definition, be applied to a feeling.
d) The "information" about "feels like" is an integral part of a meteorological sensationalism that is obvious to any moderately intelligent person, and whose dissemination aims to: indoctrinate the public in the ideological and programmatic agenda of Wokist, totalitarian and leftist globalism; attract the attention of as many imbeciles as possible, in order to maximize profits, including those from advertisements.
e) These indices are nothing more than mathematical artifices, designed and presented in such a way as to augment reality, in order to catch the public eye.
The insistence on this deception is becoming hilarious, as evidenced by the recent news story, referenced below, which reported that the inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro were experiencing an apparent temperature of 62.3 ºC... This when the real maximum temperature was 42 ºC...
People who believe this kind of fraudulent news are so stupid that they can't even do this simple reasoning: well, if a person, in certain weather conditions, is feeling a temperature of 42 ºC as if it were 62.3 ºC, that means that they are experiencing exactly the same thermal sensation as if, in other weather conditions, the real temperature were actually 62.3 ºC...
I invite these idiots to expose themselves to a real temperature of 62.3 ºC. They'll understand everything in a second...
f) Science would have a very difficult time creating a general equation for the loss of heat from a human body. Humans come in different shapes, sizes and consistancies. The amount of heat you lose will depend on your weight and your size and the make up of your body. Humans are made up of fat, and muscle and bones and skin and dangly bits all in different configurations.
It would be impossible for someone to construct an accurate mathmatical model of heat loss from a human body without specifying the human body in question. Determining the flow of heat from an warm object to a cooler substance is complicated even for a pure metal cube.
g) Humans do use evaporative cooling. Under normal conditions this means that humans are more effective at cooling themselves at lower humidity. In short the principle "less humidity, more comfortable human" is true in most circumstances where humans might be too hot.
However, the precise amount that humans cool down from evaporative cooling varies from humman to human and is scientifically quite complex.
Predicting the effects of evaporative cooling based on on a wide range of humans is scientifically impossible without taking into account the body weight, height, fat content and distribution and probably metabolism of the individual human... and even then it would be a probably impossibly calculation.
h) The sensation felt by a human being is something that is unique, specific and internal to that person, and has to do with a whole complex of human devices, ranging from the sense organs to the brain, something that science cannot capture, let alone quantify or experience.
But the main point here is that sensation is an individual experience: if a person reports what the temperature feels like to them, that is the correct answer! If a "calculation" comes up with a different answer for how they feel, that "calculation" is wrong by definition!
