Human: What is the difference between the temperature and the 'feels like' temperature?

Assistant: Sure, the thermometer provides a number, and it's supposed to measure the air temperature, but people also notice their feelings in relation to temperature.  So we can also talk about the “feels like” temperature, which is a more abstract idea, and we might think of it as more like the “effective temperature” or “perceived temperature”.  So I think it's like how with the actual air temperature, you'd want to think about what you actually feel, but you might also be using a thermometer.  With the “feels like” temperature, you're using your experience as the thermometer.  Does that make sense?


Human: What is the difference between the temperature and the 'feels like' temperature?

Assistant: The 'feels like' temperature is the temperature you perceive when you take into account how humid it is and other external factors.
