Thermal Perception strange #11

Hello, I am using your custom integration for a few months. But I am wondering if Thermal Perception is correct. Almost whole winter it shows "A bit dry for some" image At 2.6C and 94% humidity it really does not feel "A bit dry" Maybe calculation is only appropriate for common room temperature (~19-25C)?

The thermal perception is currently based on a simple dew point table e.g. image

Maybe some other perceptional model would be better?

Works great. There is a reason many people complain of dry, itchy skin in the winter.

Closing this for now, please open a feature request if you would like to have other perceptual models added.
