Wind direction is West at 14 miles per hour, gusting at 16 mph. The humidity is 51.76 percent with a dew point of 44.6 degrees fahrenheit that is rising since the last report. The barometric pressure is 29.89 - measured by inch of mercury units - and is steady since its last observation. ![]() It is 63 degrees fahrenheit, or 17 degrees celsius and feels like 62 degrees fahrenheit. It can very much from the actual temperature.The current weather report for Grand Rapids MI, as of 1:00 PM EDT, has a sky condition of Mostly Cloudy with the visibility of 10.00 miles. So the next time you check weather forecast, make sure to check “feels like” temperature. R = relative humidity (percentage value between 0 and 100) T = ambient dry-bulb temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) HI = c 1 + c 2 T + c 3 R + c 4 TR + c 5 T 2 + c 6 R 2 + c 7 T 2 R + c 8 TR 2 + c 9 T 2 R 2 You’re gonna feel sticky and gross outside! Thumb rule: Check the weather forecast, If the Dew Point is above 18 degrees, then definitely find a good air conditioning room. The dew point is the temperature at which air is saturated with water vapor, which is the gaseous state of water. “The stronger the wind, the faster the heat is getting removed from your body, so it will feel colder outside,” Pydynowski said. Wind can cause sweat from our bodies to evaporate faster and can carry heat away from us quickly to make us feel colder. But high speed winds swipe that layer away, leaving our skin feeling cooler. Just above our skin, there is a layer of hot air molecules, which makes us feel warm in winter. High winds can cause feels like temperature drop below the actual temperature. This is the case where “feels like” temperature is higher than the actual temperature. “That is why you get the sticky feeling, because the sweat isn’t able to evaporate as efficiently,” Pydynowski said. ![]() This leads to the body feeling hotter, hence the “feels like” temperature. Due to slower evaporation, sweat persists on the skin. Very similar to how clothes dry up very fast in summer but NOT in monsoon because air is already holding a good amount of moisture. That’s the body’s natural way of cooling down.īut when air is humid, sweat cannot evaporate easily. As the air is dry, moisture can easily evaporate leaving behind a cooling effect. It’s a sunny day, and as the air temperature increases, the body begins to sweat and most days sweat will evaporate. The “feels like” temperature differs from the actual temperature when humidity i.e water content in the atmosphere is very high or very low. The actual temperature of the air is what the thermometer measures, while, Feels like temperature is a measure of how hot it really feels for a human. Let’s see how humidity and other factors impact the real feel against the actual temperature. Short Answer: Due to Humidity and wind speed So, What does that mean? If the temperature is 30, it should feel like 30 right? Why is real feel different from the actual temperature? Have you ever wondered what is that ‘“feels like” temperature, which is mentioned below the actual temperature in weather forecasts? Temperature is measured to be, say, 30 degrees celsius, but the real feel is 34 degrees. ![]()
