How does, what if feels like, weather work?

Asked by Pandora (32207points) July 22nd, 2019

We all have seen temperatures saying what is and what it feels like. I imagine the feels like is calculated with the humidity in mind, but my question is, who came up with what it feels like? I’ve gone out and found sometimes the temperature may say it’s 90 degrees and they will say it feels like a hundred but to me it feels like 92. Or it will say 78 degrees and to me it feels like 96 or higher and to my husband it will feel like low 80’s. So who was the person who got to say what it feels like? Did they ask a guy, or a woman in menopause ?
