Okay, in the winter it may be 20 degrees outside but when the wind blows it feels like 10 degrees and we call that the "windchill factor". In the desert in the heat of summer it may be 100 degrees outside but it feels like 110 when the wind blows we call that the ______.
It sounds silly, but there are days in the desert in the summer when the air feels hotter when it blows. Think hair dryer in your face.
This has nothing to do with humidity or the heat index. It only feels that way on a hot dry day.

All words have meanings, that does no longer recommend the meanings replicate fact. Abyss ability bottomless. Aerobics ability residing interior the air. and so on. i'm particular it's going to be obtainable to create what would desire to be reported as a unicorn at some point with slightly gene splicing from a narwhal and a horse, yet what you have shown isn't. there are various abnormalities in nature, yet that does no longer recommend it rather is a clean species. there became a guy presently (final ten or two decades) born with horns. Or how with regard to the carnival crab or wolf human beings. Are you saying they do no longer look to be human because of the fact of a start illness or genetic abnormality?

The wind chil and the heat index sre meaningless nonsense. When they say it "feels" like 110 degrees. But how are we supposed to know what 110 feels like because wwhen it is 110 degrees, they say it "feels" like 228 degs. So much for thr heat index. Sme crap for the wind chill!

What a great question! I don't think there is a word for this, but we do have "windburn" for what adding wind to hear or cold does to your skin. So, I'd make up "the heatburn factor".

There is a term for it, it's called the heat index.
