  2. Apparent temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_temperature

    Apparent temperature, also known as "feels like", [1] [2] is the temperature equivalent perceived by humans, caused by the combined effects of air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed. The measure is most commonly applied to the perceived outdoor temperature.

  3. Heat index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_index

    A generalized view of the heat index showing how the perception of heat by the human body increases with temperature but more rapidly at higher humidity levels. The heat index of a given combination of temperature and humidity is defined as the dry-bulb temperature which would feel the same if the water vapor pressure were 1.6 kPa. Quoting ...

  4. Thermoception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoception

    In physiology, thermoception or thermoreception is the sensation and perception of temperature, or more accurately, temperature differences inferred from heat flux.It deals with a series of events and processes required for an organism to receive a temperature stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal in order to trigger an appropriate defense response.

  5. Humidity is why medical experts say that South Florida’s climate can be harder on the health and body than a dry climate like Arizona, where a 90 degree temperature doesn’t feel all that ...

  6. Wet-bulb globe temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_globe_temperature

    The wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is a measure of environmental heat as it affects humans. Unlike a simple temperature measurement, WBGT accounts for all four major environmental heat factors: air temperature, humidity, radiant heat (from sunlight or sources such as furnaces), and air movement (wind or ventilation).

  8. Thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermometer

    However, this precision does not mean the reading is true or accurate, it only means that very small changes can be observed. A thermometer calibrated to a known fixed point is accurate (i.e. gives a true reading) at that point. The invention of the technology to measure temperature led to the creation of scales of temperature. [41]

    A few hours later during the early morning hours of Feb. 4, as the temperature dipped further to 10 degrees below zero, this broke that date's record low of 2 degrees below zero from 1886.
