Description
I've always had a problem with the commonly used term "feels like" as being even more imprecise than the actual wind chill index or, in warm weather, the heat index. How we feel can be very subjective and tied directly to what we're doing when exposed to a cold wind or hot and humid conditions. I offer a brief history of the wind chill index (the NWS won't use "feels like" either) and what it really means, with just a hint of kvetching fun. Please share if you're enjoying this episode or my podcast in general.
