As someone living in a windy coastal area I want to advocate for introducing such a feature. Windchill is the last reason I keep other weather apps on my phone. For everything else Windy is superior to other apps in my opinion.<br />
So please consider adding this as this is a long standing request as you can see in this thread.</p>

<p dir="auto">You really need to add in "Feels Like" and "UV" values in this bottom overlay section. These are the two most valuable pieces of information. Temperature on its own is useless especially when there is a 10-20C difference between what the temperature is and what it feels like based on the heat index or wind chill.</p>
<p dir="auto">The way in which you prepare to go outside is dependent on both of these values and yet after 5+ years they are nowhere to be found on your website even through every other weather app has them.</p>
<p dir="auto">I pity the person that bought a premium subscription and then discovered that this information was missing even from the premium option.</p>
<p dir="auto">I love the website, but unless those two values are added to the bottom overlay - its not worth paying for something that doesn't give me two of the key pieces of information I need.</p>
<p dir="auto">Please give us some hint as to when these values will be added or whether you just intend to continue to ignore one of the most highly asked for features for another 5-10 years.</p>

<p dir="auto">Cannot believe that that feature is missing?<br />
Literally paid for a premium without realising that it’s missing.<br />
Both are needed not only as layers, but also on the actual forecast AND the phone widgets.</p>
<p dir="auto">For regular living users (like not pilots and etc.) these are way more important than the reported temperature!</p>

<p dir="auto">Of all the people I’ve showed this app to, the lack of these maps is the biggest reason they don’t use the app!</p>

<li>Humidex (Canadian version of heat index) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidex#The_humidex_computation_formula" rel="nofollow ugc">is even easier to implement</a>.</li>

<p dir="auto">Agree, lots of people have asked for these in Windy, simply because they tell you much more that's significant to humans than the T value or a humidity overlay does.</p>

<p dir="auto">As to your suggestions - we do have "Humidity" and "Dew point" as individual layers but not a combination of these two + air temperature as a "Heat index" layer, the same with "Windchill" (wind speed + air temperature).  It's not our priority at this moment, but we will certainly think about it!  All the best ~ Marie</p>
<hr />
<p dir="auto">Just to make sure that I am getting it right:</p>
<p dir="auto">Heat index = a quantity expressing the discomfort felt as a result of the combined effects of the temperature and humidity of the air.</p>
<p dir="auto">Windchill = a quantity expressing the effective lowering of the air temperature caused by the wind, especially as affecting the rate of heat loss from an object or human body or as perceived by an exposed person.</p>
