What's the difference between somatosensory temperature and actual temperature?

Somatosensory temperature refers to the ambient temperature felt by human body, mainly considering the correction of temperature measured by blinds by wind, humidity, sunshine and clothes color. The actual temperature means that the temperature in the weather forecast only represents the degree of cold and warm air, and can not fully express the human body's feelings about the cold and warm environment, but the temperature can be used as a parameter for the human body to feel cold and warm.

Influencing factors of somatosensory temperature

Under the same temperature conditions, people will have different cold and warm feelings because of different air humidity, wind speed, dress color, sunshine and even mood.

For example, when the temperature is 30℃, the air relative humidity is about 40%-50%, and the average wind speed is above 3m/s, people will not feel very hot. However, under the same temperature conditions, if the relative humidity increases above 80% and the wind speed is very low, people will feel sultry and uncomfortable, and even the weak will suffer from heatstroke.
