Title: Windchill not displayed on wunderground
Post by: gb509 on March 29, 2015, 04:01:23 PM
Hi to all and thank you for your reply Randall re webcam question, I will query it although I seem to recall a message stating something about WG not being able to deal with 2 pictures.
Looking at Randalphs WG page KOHNEWAR6 I noticed he shows Windchill whilst mine does not. We use identical stations so have I missed something in set-up?

Further to the above I should slightly change the question: WG displays windchill as "Feels Like" Mine always reads the same as actual temp never lower.

However on the WG PWS iPad app there is a entry for Windchill which reads different. When i am writing this WG on Safari on computer states 6.9?C feels like 6.9?C iPad app states current 7?C Wind chill 3.0?C,
I notice same behaviour on Stu's webpage and Randall's which I checked and compared them to the iPad version

Any idea's why this is different? (BTW I also check another PWS of someone I know in Holland who is running WeatherDisplay and I see the same behaviour

Hi Gerald
 I know at WG that the fells like is not as responsive as it should be
It must be the way they calculate it
Other than that I don't know what to you


cheers

I think Randall is correct. WU must calculate Wind Chill rather than upload it from your weather console. It only displays when it calculates there is a difference between temperature and wind chill and it is not as accurate as the Davis calculation on your console.
