This is a good approach - it explains what everything is. I think "(AU)" is more appropriate than "(AT)". If "Temperature, humidity and wind (Australia)" is too long then it could be shortened to "Temp., humidity and wind (Australia)". I think that "wind chill" should be in lower case.
One last extra bit of possible functionality - perhaps we could have a checkbox above the list of fields: "Only show fields when relevant". If this option is ticked (as it would be by default?), then Heat Index is only displayed in the menu when the temperature is above 27˚C and humidity above 40%, wind chill is only shown when the temperature is less than 10˚C, and the main "Feels like" is only shown when one of these applies. This would mean the user could tick heat index and wind chill, and whichever one is relevant would appear in the menu. Also, any fields missing from the report would not be shown in the menu rather than showing '--' or 'N/A' or whatever the current behaviour is. Do you think this would be useful?
> Indices with units or without?
Units for all indices I think - this seems to be the most common approach, and you've shown that we would not be the only weather source to write the Humidex with units.
