"Feels like" temperatures are dumbed-down nonsense. Can you imagine a hot day in the S of England with a brisk dry southerly breeze and a presenter saying "could reach 32 in places but feeling more like 25 in that breeze." Well, why don't they? Just give me the temperature, and if high, the humidity, and I'll tell *you* how I feel. It'll depend on what I'm wearing, what I'm doing and my physical and psychological makeup. The very existence of this thread shows what confusion arises when real and supposedly perceived temperatures are not differentiated.
