It's 'apparent temperature-' - some weather sites have 'feels like' or 'realfeel'

Ours today is 33C feels like 41C

Apparent temperature, also known as feels like, is the temperature equivalent perceived by humans, caused by the combined effects of air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed.
The measure is most commonly applied to the perceived outdoor temperature.
