Apparent temperature is the general term for the perceived outdoor temperature, caused by the combined effects of air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed.
- The Heat index measures the effect of humidity on the perception of temperature. In humid conditions, the air feels hotter than it actually is, because of the reduction of perspiration.
- The Wind chill measures the effect of wind speed on the perception of temperature. In windy conditions, the air feels cooler than it actually is, because of increased perspiration.
