Notes on How this Table is Filled-In:
- My phone embeds GPS data into my photos which provides the Latitude and Longitude.
- Knowing the Lat/Lon, I then go to https://whatismyelevation.com/ to determine my elevation. Satellite data from NASA and other public agencies is combined to create what is called a Digital Elevation Model which is a detailed list of elevation values for points on the Earth’s surface. Their tool then uses Lat/Lon to fetch the value elevation reading in the DEM.
- Knowing the Lat/Lon/Date, I then go to https://www.visualcrossing.com/ to determine the “Feels Like” Max/Min. Their weather engine processes billions of hourly and sub-hourly weather observations from more than one hundred thousand worldwide observation stations, including satellite and maritime sources to create our global weather observation database. The weather engine then aggregates and interpolates from these records to create the most accurate report.
- The “feels like” is the temperature equivalent perceived by humans, caused by the combined effects of air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed.
