Feels Like
Dew Point
Heat Index
Feels Like Temperature: is the perceived outdoor temperature. If Outdoor Temperature
is below 50F/10C, will measure the effect of wind. The result is a wind chill effect and
this will be reflected as the “Feels Like” temperature outside.
Example: Outdoor temperature is 35.2F/1.7C and wind is 5.0 mph/8.0 kMh; Feels
Like temperature will be 30.8F/0.6C.
Heat Index: If outdoor temperature is above 70F/21.1C, the heat index will be used to
register the “Feels Like” temperature. The Heat index takes into consideration the effect
of humidity.
Example:
Outdoor temperature is 82.4F/28C and humidity 60%RH; Heat Index
will be 85.0F/29.4C.
Note: If outdoor temperature is between 51F/10.6C and 69F/20.6C, the unit will use
the outdoor temperature as for Feels Like and Heat Index.
Example:
Outdoor temperature is 60.4F/15.7C Both Feels Like and Heat Index will
be the same 60.4F/15.7C
Dew Point: A measure of atmospheric moisture. The temperature where water vapor
condenses into liquid water as frost or dew. Dew Point is calculated at any temperature
and will be the same or lower than outdoor temperature.
Example:
Outdoor temperature is 58.2F/14.9C and humidity 60%RH; Dew Point
will be 45.0F/7.2C
