How is the Real Feel Temperature actually computed?
Answer Dear Solly: The Real Feel temperature is a patented product developed by several of us at AccuWeather. I am not familer with the general explanation. But, I can tell you that we use the following variables to calculate the value: Temperature Dew point wind speed Sun angle for a given date Solar intensity as defined from the solar index percent of sky cover precipitation and intensity altitude Each variable carries a weight for a given date and weather situation. These weights are determined through various factors. I cannot give you the formula since this is patented. If you are interested in getting real feel computations you can go to our web site and request a service person to assist you with setting up an account.
