Heat Index calculation wrong?
Posted: Wed Sep 13, 2017 1:14 pm
Hi,
I noticed in the current conditions block, that the calculation of the heat index seems to be wrong- currently the temperature is 14.2°C with a humidity of 73%. The apparent temperature looks correct -there's a storm here going on at present, so it definately feels like its below 10°C. However the heat index does look right at least to my layman's eyes- it shows currently 26.8°C. See the attached screenshot.
I tried to find a calculator for the heat index and entered these values however this would be a heat index of 14°C.
