Overview of thermofeel

thermofeel is a thermal indices library, with the aim of allowing these indices to be integrated in numerical weather prediction systems. It was developed and is maintained by ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts).

It contains in total 16 methods including 11 thermal indices:

• Relative Humidity (as water vapour pressure and percentage)

• Solar Zenith Angle (Instantaneous and Integrated)

• Mean Radiant Temperature (From radiation and Wet Bulb Globe Temperature)

• Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI)

• Wet Bulb Temperature

• Globe Temperature from Mean Radiant Temperature

• Wet Bulb Globe Temperature

• Wet Bulb Globe Temperature Simple

• Heat Index (Simplified and Adjusted)

• Humidex

• Net Effective Temperature

• Apparent Temperature

• Wind Chill
