Change The Wind Chill Label #169

Closed SerafDosSantos closed 7 years ago

SerafDosSantos commented 8 years ago

The 'Wind Chill' label should be 'Felt Temp.' where in summer humidity is the factor to make the temperature higher, and in winter, wind and humidity drops it.

I don't think the Yahoo! API provides a "heat index" value. test | docs

The calculation is somewhat convoluted, but I welcome a pull request if someone wants this feature.

"Apparent temperature" seems to be more art than science. In the US, it means wind chill below 50°F, and heat index above 80°F. Australia uses more variables. Is there a global standard?

SerafDosSantos commented 8 years ago

I don't know of global standards as I'm a simple user of the applet. Although I observed this summer that the Wind Chill label was indicating higher temperatures due to humidity as I guess that the Yahoo API already calculates these estimations. So the label is a little misguiding. There's really no rush on my side as winter is coming and the Wind Chill label will have its full sense. Try to observe on your side if higher temperatures hits your town and I think you'll see what I mean.
