Looks good.
I'm not Canadian so don't know for sure, but Wikipedia says the Humidex should be displayed as a number without a "˚C" or "˚F", but is always displayed in ˚C-like units (i.e. not Farenheit). I can't find any actual examples of Humidexes in use (I think it's only used in the summer). I get the feeling that it's always referred to as the "Humidex" and not as a "Feels like", so we should do this too.
"Apparent Temperature" might be too vague - although the top hits in google do take you to the correct methodology. Would "Apparent Temp: wind and humidity" make more sense? "Australian Apparent Temperature" is another option, but IMO is less useful.
