Apparent temperature

Apparent temperature

What the air temperature actually feels like to people. This varies with the relative humidity of the air. The higher the relative humidity, the higher the apparent temperature is even if the air temperature does not change because evaporation of sweat is progressively less efficient in cooling the body.
