Feels Like Temperature Calculator
The Feels Like Temperature Calculator computes feels like temperature from the relation apparent temp = air temp + 0.33 x vapour pressure - 0.70 x wind speed - 4.00. It takes 3 inputs (air temperature in C, relative humidity in %, wind speed in m/s) and returns the feels like temperature. Because this is a pure mathematical or physical formula rather than a jurisdiction-specific rule, the result never changes over time: the same inputs always produce the same answer, so you can rely on it whether you are checking homework, sizing a design, or sanity-checking another tool. Enter your values in the fields below and the result updates instantly; you can also share a permalink that pre-fills the exact calculation, which is useful for teaching, reports, or collaboration. For example, with air temperature = 25 C, relative humidity = 50 %, wind speed = 3 m/s, the feels like temperature works out to 24.111189, and the worked example further down the page shows every step so you can follow the arithmetic and reproduce it by hand. The method is the standard form documented by U.S. National Weather Service, Heat Index, and the figure above each result carries the date it was last verified. This tool is general information and is not a substitute for professional engineering, medical, financial, or scientific advice; always check critical results against the primary source and your own judgement.
With Air temperature = 25 C, Relative humidity = 50 %, Wind speed = 3 m/s, the result is 24.111189.

The formula
apparent temp = air temp + 0.33 x vapour pressure - 0.70 x wind speed - 4.00
Worked example
With Air temperature = 25 C, Relative humidity = 50 %, Wind speed = 3 m/s:
- Water vapour pressure e = (rh / 100) x 6.105 x exp(17.27 x T / (237.7 + T)) = 15.7915
- Apparent temp = T + 0.33 x e - 0.70 x wind - 4.00 = 24.11
- Feels Like Temperature = 24.111189
This worked example is one of the automated golden-value tests this calculator must pass before it can publish.
What this assumes
- Inputs are real numbers in the units shown.
- The result is the exact value of apparent temp = air temp + 0.33 x vapour pressure - 0.70 x wind speed - 4.00; general information, not professional advice.
Frequently asked questions
What formula does this use?
apparent temp = air temp + 0.33 x vapour pressure - 0.70 x wind speed - 4.00, the standard form documented by U.S. National Weather Service, Heat Index.
Does the result ever change over time?
No. This is a pure formula with no external rate, so the same inputs always give the same result.
