I have three thermometers, they read the same when placed
next to each other. Put one in another room, and it reads
colder, yet I can feel as I walk into the room that it's warmer.

How a room feels depends on a lot more than
just the air temp, the temperature of the walls
is just as important to how warm it feels.

What's important to a person is how warm it feels.

Sure, but that's a separate issue to why the room
feels different to what the thermometer says.

Ah, I misunderstood you. I thought you were saying it was important
in
everyday life to know your wall temperature.

I guess thermometers should be hung in the centre of the room, so
they
smack you in the face as you walk in.

You can certainly get thermometer that measure the wall
temps and give you a fells like temp.

I do scoff at weather forecasts when they say "-7C, feels
like -1000000C,
DANGER! You will die instantly! Severe wind chill!" Yeah right. I
just
stick my head out of the door and decide whether to wear shorts or
shorts.

Easier to ask siri what it feels like before dressing.

And siri somehow knows your personal preference,

Doesn't need to. It tells me what it feels like and I know that
shorts and a T shirt will be fine when heading out for exercise
on a day which will have a max of over 30C but is nothing like
fine when sitting around the house at the computer etc. I know
that jeans or cargo pants and a top will be much more comfortable.

How hard can it be to open the ****ing door?

Not hard but nothing like what it will be like on
the other side of town with a stiff breeze blowing.

Outside my house is quite different
to most of the town how it feels wise.

You must be a really sensitive little girl if you can even detect the difference. I can walk outside when it's 10C and when it's 5C and I couldn't tell you if it was colder or warmer today.

Same goes for rain, I look at the sky. If there are clouds, it might
rain.

I look at the radar and lightning maps, give a
much better idea of what is likely to happen.

You believe those witch doctors do you? I've got something in my pocket that's more accurate, it's a coin. If it's heads it rains, if it's tails it's sunny.

and precisely what you'll be doing?

Nope.

Yep, as you just stated above,

I don't TELL siri that.

it makes a difference if you're going to be exerting yourself.

Sure, but SIRI doesn't KNOW that,

Which is my point. It can't give you an accurate idea of what to wear as it has no idea what you're going to be doing.

Do you tell it you're going to be running, walking, sitting about,
shopping, driving, etc?

Nope, ask it what it feels like and allow for that myself.

So the answer it gives still needs adjustment by yourself.

Yes,

Might aswell just look outside.

Not when outside my place is quite different to most of the town.

Just how big is this town?

Its designed to be that way and does that very well indeed.

In spades with the garage sale run. The feels like tells me
whether I will wish I had the heavy fleece jacket on when
standing around waiting for one to open in a freezing wind
in winter at 6am in the dark.

Are you really that wimpy?

Nothing wimpy about being comfortable.

Most folk are comfortable within a fair range of temperatures.

If so, shove the fleece in the car. When
you get there, if you feel cold, put it on.

More convenient to put it on before going out.

No it's not. Just leave one in the car and always go out without one. As soon as you decide you're cold, put it on.

In spades with the short/cargo pants choice.

You seriously must be female.
