So many ways I could turn this around.....!models are only as good as what you put in them , and the result you're looking for. Not much more than a best guess

I used to be a weather spotter (yeah, I'm a NERD! I even paid cash money for a T shirt, lol) as part of service as a Ham radio operator.Perfect example, local weather said " wow hot tonight but no cloud or thunder storms to be seen". So here I am in the dark watching the rain and listening to the thunder not more than 45min later.
I know its not an exact science and us Brits have little else to talk about, but it does seem to be less accurate these days then in the 60's and 70's. P.S, some great flashes of lighting
Wait ...your local airport is not surrounded by asphalt and concrete? Must be a landing strip of grass.
I would have bet a quarter.I'll betcha all a nickel he hadn't had any coffee in him when he posted that! Any takers?
I live near the largest airport in Canada and, while there IS a lot of concrete on the property, there is also a heck of a lot of grassland, as well.Wait ...your local airport is not surrounded by asphalt and concrete? Must be a landing strip of grass.
But you Kanadia people use Celsius! Civilized peeple use Fahrenheit!Canada is civilized. Its graded and they even lay calcium to keep the dust down!

And y'all think I'M a nerd!Some random thoughts
Official temps are in the shade and I believe a certain distance off the ground.
Airports are great places to measure weather because not many trees to block wind
"Feels like" is a guesstimate of the temp with the dew point. 90 degrees in humid *** MN feels way different than 90 degrees in dry New Mexico. One is fairly comfortable and one makes you feel like you are in a sauna. "Feels like" is not perfect but it is what it is.
Wind chill is real for humans. It won't make your car any harder to start though, but it will make the engine cool down sooner when it's turned off, it won't make it any colder than it would get with zero wind.
Temps can vary a few degrees within small geographical distances if there are hills, trees, valleys and what not. If you are all at Burning man, then it should be pretty uniform from one area to the next.
I think you all have been trapped in doors too long.

Yeah, its the same...butt so cold you have too stand up to break up the ice.Its the same at -40 lol.

No. It's much easier to believe it's a global conspiracy on the part of local news meteorologists to deceive the public.Some random thoughts

Yes, dewpoint is huge part of "feels like". Most only understand relative humidity and don't understand dewpoint. There is less water in 80% relative humidity 45 degree air than 60% relative humidity 90 degree air.Just to add to the confusion the "feels like temp" is based on science as well using wet bulb temps. When I was on the Tac-Team we got wet-bulb temps from the national weather service in order to figure work/rest cycles for the operators on call-outs in hot weather.
