              Seconding. I just ran into Windy and love it, but a lack of "feels like" equivalents is a major inhibition to me.

                Echoing this request! Love this app but I don’t use it solely because there is no real feel temperature map…so I have to use another competitors site for that.

                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!

                  It should be apparent that windchill is an important, sought after feature for your users. Where does it fall on the priority list? This thread is composed of requests spanning the last 5 years, where is the team with respect to progress on this feature?

                    Cannot believe that that feature is missing?
                    Literally paid for a premium without realising that it’s missing.
                    Both are needed not only as layers, but also on the actual forecast AND the phone widgets.

                    For regular living users (like not pilots and etc.) these are way more important than the reported temperature!

                      I would like to add my voice to the choir here.

                      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.

                      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.

                      I pity the person that bought a premium subscription and then discovered that this information was missing even from the premium option.

                      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.

                      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.

                        While a form of heat index was introduced in form of the wet-bulb-temperature, which is a helpful feature, it does not take into acoount the wind chill effect. 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.
                        So please consider adding this as this is a long standing request as you can see in this thread.
