摘要

Feeling temperature varies from person to person, and is described as the temperature that the human body feels or perceives, as different from the temperature measured by a thermometer. In addition to observable meteorological data, people’s gender, clothing, metabolism, and psychological states have also a significant effect on their feeling temperature. In this study, a mathematical model based on a computational technique developed by a private company, AccuWeather, is applied to determine the feeling temperature values. With the AccuWeather model, the feeling temperature values for six provinces in distinct climatic zones of Türkiye are determined using temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, and wind speed data obtained from the Turkish State Meteorological Service. Seasonal differences are revealed between the felt temperature and the dry bulb temperature at the specified locations. Results show that the greatest difference between the feeling temperature and the dry-bulb temperature occurs during the summer months due to an increase in relative humidity and wind speed. However, in the winter months, wind speed is determined to be more effective than relative humidity on the feeling of temperature.
