Felix I tried your patch. Not surprisingly, it shows different feels like than Yahoo.
Generally it shows lower values and I think it is because it should use the dry-bulb temperature instead of the air temperature.
I think it would be more logical to use the "Heat index" as the "Feels like" and have the others optional.
Here is a calculator from NOAA which we can use: http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/html/heatindex.shtml
I looked up the terms in Wikipedia and noticed that different "Feels like" indices are used around the world.
-"Humidex" used in Canada en.wikipedia. org/wiki/ Humidex

- "Wind Chill" index in North America en.wikipedia. org/wiki/ Wind_chill
http://
- "Apparent temperature" used in Australia (and in your patch) en.wikipedia. org/wiki/ Apparent_ temperature www.bom. gov.au/ info/thermal_ stress/

- "Heat index" en.wikipedia. org/wiki/ Heat_index

We also have dew point: en.wikipedia. org/wiki/ Dew_point

I managed to calculate it based on the first formula and it agrees with Yahoo.
