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 know I can see the rain coming from hundreds of miles
way and can see it passing below my town at times too.

And you know which way it will decide to go do you?

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.

Wrong, as always.

It can't give you an accurate idea of what to wear

But it can tell you what temperature it will feel like

It has no clue what temperature it will feel like. Because that depends on how wimpy you are, what you're wearing, what you're doing, etc, etc.

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?

30K people.

I meant in area obviously. Which is the only thing relevant to weather. Why would the weather care how many people are there?

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?

Most folk are comfortable within a fair range of temperatures.

Nothing wimpy about being comfortable.

So am I but I prefer to be comfortable when
standing around in with a chill wind in winter.

And when standing around when its over 45C too
which feels like you are in a oven.

Those are extremes of temperature. What I mean is the "feels like" is unnecessarily precise. If it feels 5 or 10C different to what it really is, you won't even know or care.

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.

pathetic excuse for a troll flushed where it belongs

Was my query too difficult for you?
