Explanation of terms
Apparent Temperature - is the general term for the perceived outdoor temperature, caused by the combined effects of air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed.
Dew Point - is the temperature to which air must be cooled, at constant barometric pressure, for water vapour to condense into water. The condensed water is called dew.
Heat Index - a measure of how humidity effects the perception of temperature. In humid conditions, the air feels hotter than it actually is, mainly due to the reduced cooling effects of perspiration.
Humidex - The humidex is used to reflect the combined effect of heat and humidity. It differs from the heat index in using dew point rather than relative humidity. A humidex of at least 30 causes "some discomfort", at least 40 causes "great discomfort" and above 45 is "dangerous." When the humidex hits 54, heat stroke is imminent.
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 effect of the drying of perspiration.
