==== Apparent Temperature and Feels Like ====
Note this apparent temperature formula uses Celsius for temperature and '''metres per second''' for wind speed. You will need to do the appropriate conversions from the quoted recent history tags if you use different units. The Australian Apparent temperature formula is same for Cumulus 1 and MX:
var actualVaporPress = <#RecentHumidity h=3>/100) * 6.105 * Math.exp(17.27 * <#RecentOutsideTemp h=3>) / (237.7 + parseFloat(<#RecentOutsideTemp h=3>))));
var appTempDegC = parseFloat(<#RecentOutsideTemp h=3) + (0.33 * actualVaporPress) - (0.7 * <#RecentWindSpeed h=3>) - 4;
Feels Like as implemented at version 3.6.10 (see [[#Feels_Like|Feels Like section below Current condition web tags]])
Calculation from recent history tags is much more complicated because there are 3 different calculations: Feels Like reports exactly same as wind chill for temperatures '''below''' 10°C or 50°F:
<pre>if(<#RecentWindSpeed h=3> < 4.828) WC = <#RecentOutsideTemp h=3>;
else{
wind_pow = Math.pow(
WC = (13.12 + 0.1625 *
} </pre>
For temperatures '''above''' 20°C or 68°F
<pre>var actualVaporPress =
/* uses kilometres per hour for wind speed */
/* What Cumulus MX will use to calculate apparent temperature for feels like is changed very slightly */
if(
AT= (1.04 *
For in-between temperatures it uses a more complicated merge of the two formulas for AT and WC as defined above:
<pre>app_temp_mult = (<#RecentOutsideTemp
wind_chill_mult = 1 - app_temp_mult;
