Two new widgets have just been added to the emoncms dashboard which are useful for displaying weather calculations;
Humidex widget to return the humidex value based upon temperature and humidity.
Frost Point widget to display the temperature where air moisture turns to ice crystals and forms as frost.
Many thanks to Aymeric Thibaut for submitting.
Also, Aymeric has kindly updated the dewpoint widget to enhance the font options, including Bold, Italic, selectable typeface, size etc.
To update your dashboard;
Emonpi’s - run the inbuilt update script
Self-Builds - run $git pull from within your emoncms/Modules/dashboard directory

Centigrade and Fahrenheit are not units of measurement for humidex.
If you research humidex, you will that it’s a notional number with no unit.

oops indeed, just re read
hope this error will serve others
The humidex (short for humidity index) is an index number used by Canadian meteorologists to describe how hot the weather feels to the average person, by combining the effect of heat and humidity. The term humidex was first coined in 1965. The humidex is a nominally dimensionless quantity (though generally recognized by the public as equivalent to the degree Celsius) based on the dew point.
Range of humidex: Scale of comfort:
The current formula for determining the humidex was developed by J. M...
