If you understand PHP Hypertext Preprocessor language (other languages use similar operators) then here is how to calculate apparent temperature and feels like. The '''JAG/TI feels like''' scale follows [[Wind chill|wind chill]] below 10 degrees Celsius, [[Apparent temperature|apparent temperature]] above 20 degrees C, and blends the proportion of each of those at in-between temperatures. Note the function makes assumptions about units used for temperature (Celsius) and wind speed (kilometres per hour). | ||

The rest of this article was written before this was available, and discusses a way of picking between the alternative measures listed below, based on the current weather conditions. The script described below is less sophisticated, it just uses Wind Chill for when it is most appropriate, and heat index for when it is most appropriate, using apparent temperature in-between, with no blending. | |||
