How Does it Do That?

This is the mechanics for my antique thermometer. Just a coiled piece of steel. Full of cobwebs and stuff, sorry.
This is the reading today. It is has not hit 100 yet today as it is cloudy from a cool front that went through last evening. The temperature is actually reported at 84 as I take these photos. The thermometer is reading over 90. Hmmm. Not so accurate but....

when you look at the "Feels Like" temperature it matches my thermometer pretty close.

I have been watching this thermometer pretty close the last week or two and it always reads the "Feels Like" temperature. How does it do that?

I have no idea. Sorry I flunked every math class at least once!
