Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between temperature and feels-like?
Temperature is the actual air temperature measured at weather stations. Feels-like temperature factors in humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation to reflect what humans actually feel. High humidity makes it feel hotter; strong wind makes it feel colder.
At what UV index should I use sunscreen?
UV Index 3-5 (moderate): wear hats and sunglasses. 6-7 (high): apply sunscreen. 8-10 (very high): avoid outdoor exposure. 11+ (extreme): stay indoors if possible.
Where does the weather data come from?
Weather data comes from public meteorological APIs, sourced from observation station networks of national weather bureaus. Data is for reference only and may differ from actual conditions.
Understanding Weather Metrics
Key meteorological indicators include: temperature (air warmth), humidity (water vapor content), barometric pressure (closely related to weather changes — falling pressure often indicates rain), and visibility (affects transportation safety).
Wind speed is typically described using the Beaufort scale: Force 0 (calm, <1km/h), Force 3 (gentle breeze, 12-19km/h), Force 6 (strong breeze, 39-49km/h), Force 10 (storm, 89-102km/h). Understanding these helps you better prepare for various weather conditions.
