"Real Feel" was developed by AccuWeather as a tool to better report what the temp feels like under different conditions across the temperature scale over 20 years ago. It is indeed trademarked by them, the developers.

Interesting, the 'wind chill' index years ago (early 1940's) was noted to have an error in the calculations (or a result of how it was developed) not found for many years and was overestimating the 'chill'. This apparently lead to the plethora of other representations for what the temperature feels like.

I trust the 'Real Feel' more then the others for what that is worth over the temperature scale.
