Apparent temperature is a linear function of temperature and dew point temperature to account for humidity conditions.</span></p><p><span /></p><p><span>Data Sources</span></p><p><span /></p><p><span>The data was assembled on behalf of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) based on climate projections hosted on the C3S Climate Data Store (CDS). The Index data is 30-year period statistics based on a set of four bias-corrected multi-model simulations ensemble from the EURO-CORDEX experiment. These simulations have a spatial resolution of 0.1° x 0.1° and cover scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5.
