Question:

In Orlando, Florida, the following represent the average daily temperatures and humidities for August. Maximum: 91.6°F with 60% humidity Minimum: 73.4°F with 92% humidity Calculate the Summer Simmer Index S and the Apparent Temperature A for both the average daily maximum and the average daily minimum temperature.

The “feels like” temperature often reported in summer weather forecasts measures the combined effects of humidity and high temperatures. Two of the most common models used to determine this effect are the Summer Simmer Index (S) developed by John W. Pepi and the Apparent Temperature (A) developed by Robert Steadman. These models are given by

S = 1.98T - 1.09(1 - H)(T - 58) - 56.9
A = -42.38 + 2.049T + 1014H - 22.48TH - 0.006838T2
      - 548.2H2 + 0.1229T2H + 8.528TH2 - 0.0199T2H2

where T is the air temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) and H is the relative humidity (expressed as a decimal). Use these models in Problem.
