The extent to which these different expressions for feels like are supported in Cumulus varies. Not all are fully supported (fully supports means derived maxima and minima outputs are available for each day, each month, each year, monthly all time, and all-time), and none of them allow you to set alarms for when it passes a particular threshold. For example Humidity Index (Humidex) is available only for current conditions. The greatest Wind Chill (highest wind speed, lowest temperature) is available for daily, monthly, yearly, monthly-all-time, and all-time. | The extent to which these different expressions for feels like are supported in Cumulus varies.

The preferred expression varies as research into the effects of the 3 variables listed above on how temperature is perceived by bare skin on the human body continues. There has in the past been divergence between different nations, but most now use what Cumulus MX from version 3.6.0 fully supports (in terms of derived outputs just listed) for feels like. This is a variant on wind chill (good when temperature below 50 <sup>o</sup>F [10 <sup>o</sup>C]) and apparent temperature (good in range 20 to 28 <sup>o</sup>C), and was defined by the Joint Action Group for Temperature Indicators (JAG/TI) which is the formula used in the UK, Iceland, Australia, USA, and Canada, amongst others. | The preferred expression varies as research into the effects of the 3 variables listed above on how temperature is perceived by bare skin on the human body continues.

As already mentioned MX uses same formula for what it reports as Wind Chill, and for what it reports as Feels like when temperature is below 10 °C (50 °F). Unfortunately, MX uses different formulae for Feels like when temperature is 10 °C (50 °F) or above; these formulae depend on version: | ||

Because of these changes, I have deleted the formula that was quoted here. | |||
