I have a barometer at the house. I just watch it. That’s my weather forecast. 👍 I do wish someone would tell me where I can find one of those “Feels like” thermometers.

Day three and so far so good.
We’re just hoping the distance from the landfall point is far enough away that the winds are nonexistent for us.

They should include an insurance rate adjustment cone with their storm tracking forecasts.

That’s my weather forecast. 👍 I do wish someone would tell me where I can find one of those “Feels like” thermometers. www.acurite.com/learn/glossary/feels-like-temperature#:~:text=The%20%22feels%20like%22%20temperature%20is,conditions%20feel%20to%20bare%20skin. "Feels Like" Temperature The "feels like" temperature is a measurement of how hot or cold it really feels like outside. The “Feels Like” temperature relies on environmental data including the ambient air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed to determine how weather conditions feel to bare skin. Different combinations of temperature, humidity, and wind speed can increase the sensation of being hot or cold. For example, skin that is exposed to wind and cold temperatures will make a person feel that it is colder outside than it really is because heat is drawn away from the body at a faster rate. As another example, a day that is very humid may feel hotter than it really is outside because your body sweat does not evaporate (and thereby cool the body) the way it is intended.

We have sort of a "feels like" thermometer at the airport... except it is all too real. There is an outside scale indicating altitude, so when it is 90degs out our little airport goes from 2000' elevation to over 5000' elevation. At 90deg, your engine and wings "feel like" it is at 5000'.

Air density is a major factor in engine performance(without turbos) and wing lift. Lower density(less air), less efficient. A 200hp engine at sea level is 200hp, at 5000 ft in might be only 160hp.

Take off distance , weight etc. Wind chill is meaningless to airplanes (or anything else for that matter) only the ambient temperature is important. As far as the feels like temperatures go, I guess it is determined by how old you are? When I was a kid growing up here in Florida we didn’t have air conditioning, but I really don’t recall being hot? But of course we would just jump in the lake if it got too hot. 😁

I remember those days. Go to the nearest pond or creek with a bar of Ivory soap for a bath too.
