Freak Weather
« on: October 20, 2004, 11:37:13 PM »
Hi, I don't have a problem as such here more curious than anything else. We've got some atrocious weather over here at the moment but I noticed something very odd on my graph this afternoon, that I've never had before. if you look at my graph

the windchill for a while this afternoon was actually warmer than the temperature. If I'd have downloaded a new version I'd have probably put it down to a glitch but I haven't and I really can't recall ever seeing that before. Could it be something to do with the heat index? Has anyone else ever had this happen?

the windchill changes to heat index (or humidex if you select that in the summary image and icon setup) when its over 17oc (that is freaky for the UK!)
but you can disable that in 10.18g (in fact it should be off by default) in the graph setup

humm, seems like its doing even though its not supposed to
investigating
note: its not windchill going crazy, its plotting the heat index

ok, i  see...the windchill actualy goes above the temperature if the temperature is above 17oc (just the way the equation is). i did have that being checked, must have got broken

uploading a new 10.18g now to fix this
(its still not going over 17oC here, its a cold spring we are having (but should warm up the next few days)
