Explaining the AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperature

AccuWeather

While the Heat Index and Wind Chill have been used to explain how the weather feels, they are very limited. AccuWeather RealFeel&reg; takes more into consideration.

00:00 A simple look at a thermometer tells you the temperature but not how the air feels outside.

00:06 The AccuWeather RealFeel temperature more clearly tells us what to expect before heading

00:10 out.

00:11 Traditionally, heat index and windchill have been used to determine what it feels like.

00:15 Windchill looks at wind speed and temperature while the heat index accounts for the temperature

00:19 and relative humidity.

00:21 The exclusive AccuWeather RealFeel uses temperature plus more than one additional variable that

00:26 can change the way our bodies perceive the temperature.

00:29 In addition to humidity and wind speed, we also take into consideration cloud cover,

00:34 the ultraviolet index and sun angle, precipitation, as well as visibility to give you a more complete

00:40 understanding of the weather and its impacts.

00:44 AccuWeather took it a step further by creating RealFeel's shade to give you an even more

00:48 precise feel of the temperature.

00:50 It determines how the temperature will feel in the shade, whether you're sitting under

00:53 a tree, playing a soccer game on an open field, or watching a sporting event where the stands

00:57 are covered.

00:59 Just walking on one side of the street versus the other can make a significant difference

01:02 for greater comfort.

01:04 Each variable used is weighted a little bit differently to ultimately arrive at the AccuWeather

01:09 RealFeel.

01:10 AccuWeather is the only weather provider with its own patented multivariable temperature

01:14 index to determine how the air feels outside for greater safety and comfort.

01:19 For AccuWeather, I'm Adam Del Rosso.
