Sensible temperature

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008797

A measure of how warm or cold the human body perceives the ambient environment to be, taking into account not only air temperature but also other factors like humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation. This subjective feeling can differ significantly from the actual air temperature. Indices such as the wind chill factor or heat index are attempts to quantify sensible temperature.
