Weather Strip : “Feels Like” Temperature

Screenshots:

Weather Strip is set to gain new options for displaying and customizing the “feels like” temperature, which estimates the effects of humidity, wind, and direct sun on human skin and clothing. (The “feels like” metric is especially useful in winter and summer, when the weather can feel significantly colder or hotter than the thermometer reads.)

• New settings in the app will let you configure your expected level of exposure to the wind and direct sun in the forecast. For example, you might reduce the sliders for a forest hike; or increase the sliders to represent a beach. The app will then calculate all “feels like” temperatures using these settings.
• Alternatively, there is an option to simply use the “feels like” values computed by the forecast provider.
• Users will also be able to make the “feels like” temperature the primary metric shown in the readouts and timelines across the app and widgets.(There is also a corresponding option to make the regular air temperature the secondary metric displayed at the top of the app.)

In addition, Apple Weather is being added to the list of available providers for the main hourly forecast. This is a particularly good option for people who like the forecast data in Apple's built-in weather app, but prefer Weather Strip's compact visualization.

This update is also bringing new display options including the ability to show a 9-day extended forecast; adjust the app's background color; and show both wind speed and gust speed (“12-15 mph”) at the top of the app and widgets.
