I guess I’ve never seen FR complaints about wind chill, so I am a bit taken aback by the complaints about the use of the heat index. Different sides of the same coin.
I do not think we are really complaining about the use of a heat index. We are complaining about them trying to tell us what we will feel. Just give me the temperature and the humidity level and let me decide how I will feel. We don’t like to be told how to think and we do not like to be told how to feel.
