Heat Index/ Wind Chill

Looked at my local weather on the internet just now, and it said temp was 48 F, "feels like" 50. Its sunny and dead calm outside.

So what's up with that? I'm familiar with "heat index", which is the opposite of wind chill, and is based on humidity rather than wind speed- but thought it only kicked in at temps far above 48. Found it on Wikipedia, and sure enough, heat index is only calculated when temp. is above 80, and humidity above 40.

Maybe is a "basking in the sun" index? Anybody know?

Just wait a day or 2 and you will have what we have here in Missouri. Right now it is right at 14 degrees out and winds gusting up to around 30 MPH
 
S.IN- We not exactly basking in the sun here. It is 3 degree here heading to -5 or -8 by tomorrow morning. Wind chills predicted at -15 to -25 thru out night. From steady polar breezes all night. Expect frostbite after 30 min outside. How can you tell if it is seriously cold? All area basketball games have been cancelled tonight!
 
I've been having some exposure to the high end lately here in OZ and having some thoughts in this area. We recently got to +49 c.

Seems to me, with trading temps with KOO (he has the minus sign, we have the plus) that there might be something we miss.

The heat index isn't it, as we're in a raging drought and humidity is definitely lacking. But some days we get a wind that must be blowing directly over the exhaust stacks of hell.

So I'm thinking "Wind FRY Factor" needs to be incorporated.
