Most people enjoy the added weather knowledge that they get from the "real feel" temperatures. I notice that I sweat MUCH MORE at 90 deg if I am working in the yard and there is NO wind (much like the last 3 weeks have been). Also the humidity has averaged a high of 80 % during the day and 90% at night this summer - that is a big FACTOR. So, wind speed, humidity, and cloud cover affects how much I sweat whenever I am cutting the grass outside or hitting a golf ball.
