With the autumn fluctuations.. Discover the difference between the recorded and tangible temperature

<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arab Weather - Sometimes a person feels that the temperature he experiences is different from that announced in the weather forecast. This difference depends on a set of factors that affect a person&#39;s feeling of hot or cold. What are these factors? And why does this discrepancy occur between the recorded temperature and the tangible temperature that a person feels?</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Appreciate them too:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B1%D8%AF%... | A relatively cold air mass reduces temperatures to 10 degrees Celsius at night in Amman (details)</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> What is temperature and how is it measured?</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><br /> Temperature, also known as temperature, is a measure of the amount of thermal energy contained in a particular object or system. Temperature indicates how hot or cold objects are.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Temperature is measured using a thermometer, which gives measurements in several systems, such as Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2020/%D9%85%D8%B9%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%82%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%AA%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%A9..%20%D8%A7%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%B4%D9%81%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%82%20%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%86%20%D8%AF%D8%B1%D8%AC%D8%A9%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A9%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%AC%D9%84%D8%A9%20%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%84%D9%85%D9%88%D8%B3%D8%A9.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 533px;" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Factors affecting air temperature</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Temperature plays a major role in determining weather and climate, so meteorologists measure it constantly. Air temperature represents how hot the air is in a particular area, and depends on several factors, the most important of which are:</p><ol style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Solar radiation: It is the main source of heating the earth and air. The more solar radiation, the higher the temperature of the atmosphere.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Topography and elevation above sea level: The air temperature in mountainous areas is lower due to the elevation above the ground and lower air pressure.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Distribution of water and land: The ability of water and land to absorb heat differs, which affects the air in contact with them.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Wind movement and air masses: Cold air masses can lower the temperature of the area they reach.</li></ol><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> How to measure air temperature</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> When measuring air temperature, conditions that may affect the accuracy of the readings are taken into account. Therefore, the measurement is made at a height of 2 metres above the ground using a thermometer placed in a box that allows air to pass through. In this way, the readings are not affected by sunlight, wind or the temperature of the ground surface.</p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Why is the perceived temperature different from the recorded temperature?</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Despite accurate measurements, humans may experience temperatures that are different from those recorded. A person&#39;s perception of temperature, or what is known as &quot;feels-like temperature,&quot; depends on several factors, including:</p><ol style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Amount of sunlight: Direct exposure to sunlight increases a person&#39;s feeling of heat.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Humidity: High humidity reduces the ability of sweat to evaporate, making a person feel hotter.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Wind speed: Wind increases the evaporation of sweat, which increases the feeling of coldness. For example, if the temperature is 0 degrees Celsius and the wind speed is 10 km/h, the person will feel three degrees cooler than 0 degrees.</li></ol><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The difference between perceived and recorded temperature is due to the complex interaction between environmental factors and the human body. The body&#39;s natural process of regulating temperature, such as sweating, plays a major role in determining whether we feel colder or hotter than the thermometer readings indicate.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> See also:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B1%D8%AF%... | Will the weather in the coming days require us to give up our autumn clothes and use winter clothes?</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/question/%D9%85%D8%A7-%D9%87%D9%88-%D8%... is the difference between recorded temperature and perceived (felt) temperature?</a></p>
