	Could "add a few more degrees" be a pun on degrees of freedom, i.e. adding more variables to a meteorologist's model for heat index until it matches human perception closely enough? --[[Special:Contributions/172.68.133.180\|172.68.133.180]] 22:23, 30 August 2018 (UTC)		Could "add a few more degrees" be a pun on degrees of freedom, i.e. adding more variables to a meteorologist's model for heat index until it matches human perception closely enough? --[[Special:Contributions/172.68.133.180\|172.68.133.180]] 22:23, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

		+	I agree that "add a few more degrees" is a pun, since that "WAY" is capitaled and can be interpretated as dimension in a table. ( a two-way table or three-way table means that the table has 2 or 3 degrees of freedom) send by Temporal [[Special:Contributions/162.158.94.164\|162.158.94.164]] 03:36, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

	I don't think it's accurate that "Human skin does not directly detect temperature - only the rate of heat gain or loss." Isn't it more that skin temperature is a dynamic equilibrium between the body's internal temperature and heat loss? I.e., skin feels colder in cold water than cold air because its equilibrium temperature is lower with faster heat loss? Also, is skin temperature even relevant here, or is it more about core temperature?

 What confuses me is that even at 40% humidity the heat index is a lot hotter than the actual temperature. If 110 degrees at the lowest humidity that occurs commonly feels like 130 degrees, then what does it mean to feel like 110 degrees?[[User:Probably not Douglas Hofstadter|Probably not Douglas Hofstadter]] ([[User talk:Probably not Douglas Hofstadter|talk]]) 15:46, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
 Ironically, it is actually when humidity is at 100% (your sweat can't evaporate) that you feel the actual temperature. The lower humidity makes you feel cooler than the actual temperature. Similarly the windier it is (in cold weather) the more body heat is removed and the closer the actual temperature is to what it feels like.
