our temperature reading is right now.

Weather was doing the math wrong. Now it matches what it actually feels like outside.

Our weather was lying. The 'feels like' temperature was off because we were doing the conversion wrong. We were taking Fahrenheit, converting it to Celsius, doing the math, then converting back. Each step added error.

We fixed it. Now when we calculate what the heat and wind make it feel like, the number is right. You check the weather, it says 98 degrees feels like 104, that's what it actually feels like when you walk outside.

This matters in South Texas because the difference between 98 and 104 is real. That's the difference between uncomfortable and dangerous. We should tell you the truth.
