For example, in a scenario where the actual temperature is 10 degrees but the "feels like" temperature is -5 degrees, what that really means is that the wind chill is making it feel as if the air ...
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.
A big break from the summer heat is coming to a large part of the western United States later this week that will feel like autumn, with some people reaching for long sleeves and jackets ...
Another day of gusty winds is forecast Wednesday for Southern California, where a rare "Particularly Dangerous Situation" red flag warning continues until 3 p.m. for western Los Angeles County and ...
The highest reliably recorded temperature in the world, [6] [7] 134 °F (56.7 °C), was recorded in Death Valley on July 10, 1913. Temperatures of 130 °F (54 °C) or higher have been recorded as recently as 2005. The 24-hour average July temperature in Death Valley is 101.8 °F (38.8 °C) (1981–2010 NCDC Normals).
In Long Beach, the highest recorded temperature was 111 °F (44 °C) on October 16, 1958, and October 15, 1961, and again on September 27, 2010. The lowest temperature was 21 °F (−6 °C) on January 20, 1922. The wettest year was 1978 with 27.67 inches (703 mm). The driest year was 2002 with 2.63 inches (66.8 mm).
"We're looking at temperatures warming each day by a few degrees; by the weekend we're looking at highs in the lower to mid-70s," said Ryan Kittell, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Oxnard.
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 ...
