I’m using the Carter Lake template (thank you). The Feels Like temp on the page almost always gives a very high reading. When the Ajax part kicks and updates the page, it gives a much more realistic reading??

Feels Like:

It’s a little of apples and oranges.
I think WD uses wind-chill/temp/heat index for the %feelslike% tag.
The current ajaxWDwx.js uses wind-chill/temp/humidex for the ajaxfeelslike
Easy to change the ajaxWDwx.js … just replace
// FeelsLike
temp = clientraw[4]; // note.. temp in C
if (temp <= 16.0 ) {
feelslike = clientraw[44]; //use WindChill
} else if (temp >=27.0) {
feelslike = clientraw[45]; //use Humidex
} else {
feelslike = temp; // use temperature
}
feelslike = Math.round(convertTemp(feelslike));
set_ajax_obs("ajaxfeelslike",feelslike + uomTemp);
with
// FeelsLike
temp = clientraw[4]; // note.. temp in C
if (temp <= 16.0 ) {
feelslike = clientraw[44]; //use WindChill
} else if (temp >=27.0) {
feelslike = clientraw[112]; //use Heat Index
} else {
feelslike = temp; // use temperature
}
feelslike = Math.round(convertTemp(feelslike));
set_ajax_obs("ajaxfeelslike",feelslike + uomTemp);
Would heat index be better?

heat index is much differrent to a feels like
and it often works unexpentantly
its more an index of the long term stress on the body for working in those conditions, i,e its related to stress on the body in terms of the amount of fluid you need to drink to stop from dehydrating , etc (i.e you might not feel all that hot because evaporation of sweat is providing a good cooling mechanism)
