Do you think weather reports are inaccurate? You're definitely not alone.
But take heart! There's been a breakthrough in weather predicting in Australia. Where local weather reports can now more accurately tell you how hot or cold you'll FEEL when you go outside. Not just how hot or cold it actually IS!
Dr. Robert Steadman at La Trobe University in Melbourne calls it the "apparent" weather temperature. And it takes into account things like wind and humidity, as well as your body's reaction to the weather, like changes in breathing, sweating and blood flow. Because all those factors can make it feel more than ten degrees hotter or colder than the weather report indicates.
For example, wind chill speeds up heat removal from your body, which can make it feel significantly colder than it really is. Or in hot, humid weather, you'll feel hotter because humidity is stopping the transfer of heat out of your body.
"Apparent" weather predictions are slowly expanding across the globe. So, when you see it   remember, you heard it here first.
