It is the combination of actual heat, wind and humidity. I am more familiar with the cold index. it might be 32 out but when you add in the wind chill it "feels" like 20. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a reference to humidity a quantity expressing the discomfort felt as a result of the combined effects of the temperature and humidity of the air. Some places are now calling it Real-Feel. The AccuWeather RealFeel® temperature does just that. The RealFeel® uses multiple factors including the temperature, humidity, cloud cover, sun intensity, and wind to explain how hot it feels outside. In comparison, the heat index only factors in the temperature and humidity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for a clear explanation , I work with large air conditioning systems and stuff such as relative humidity is used to calculate working conditions 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the same person I was when I left, and my roots are now here. I haven't been back for a visit either, as I fear that after the long trek I'd feel like a stranger there. I'm happy where I am here, warts and all. As far as being an American though, I'll always have my American sensibility and identity. I'll hold that in my heart for the rest of my life. Your circumstances and feelings are almost exactly the same as my own. I could not have expressed it better. I will have been here 5 years in November. I have not been back to the USA and have no plans to visit. I do still love the USA but wonder if I would also feel like a stranger. Last month my wife and I went to dinner at a restaurant in Panagsama that is frequented by tourists. It felt a little odd to be around so many Caucasian people. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday in Moalboal the heat index was 124 AND the power was off all day as they are installing new main lines and poles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Mike--and you lived to tell it?! Lately the power has been cutting out here and there, not too long or too often, but with this daily heat sometimes I feel like I've hit the wall at times. I'm more like one of those flowers in the refrigerated case at the florists. I need cold to be at my best! Hopefully we'll see a little change in June... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtVD Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 I’ve been checking out a few countries the last few years, and I have decided I will spend my semi-retirement on the Philippines. Before that, I had set my sights on Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, and I’m subscribed to two other forums. It’s refreshing to read these positive posts; on the Thailand forum, I was reading a lot of complaining; about virtually anything you can imagine. Maybe it really is more fun in the Philippines... ;) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
