Feels Like Kit Arduino Uno Wind Chill Heat Index LCD Display Project
Build a Feels Like Temperature Display with Arduino Uno, DHT22 and Anemometer Input
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Understand what the weather actually feels like by combining temperature, humidity and wind speed into a single displayed number. This kit walks you through connecting a DHT22 sensor to read air conditions, accepting pulses from a standard anemometer (not included) to calculate wind chill, then combining that with heat index to show a true apparent temperature on the 16x2 LCD. Perfect for a science fair weather station, a home monitoring console, or an introductory embedded systems project.
What You'll Build
A compact display unit that calculates "feels like" temperature using NOAA formulas. The Arduino Uno reads the DHT22 every second, computes heat index for hot conditions and wind chill for cold windy conditions based on wind speed pulses from your external anemometer, and continuously updates the LCD. The I2C backpack simplifies wiring so you spend time understanding the algorithm, not debugging 16 wires.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing the DHT22 digital temperature and humidity sensor with Arduino using a one-wire library
- Driving a 16x2 character LCD through an I2C backpack to display multiple data fields
- Implementing wind chill and heat index formulas in C++ with floating-point calculations
- Handling pulse input from a cup anemometer to measure wind speed and trigger apparent temperature updates

Who This Kit Is For
CBSE Class 11-12 students building physics or computer science investigatory projects on environmental monitoring, ATL Tinkering Lab participants exploring sensor-based data displays, and B.Tech first-year ECE/EEE learners who want a hands-on introduction to sensor interfacing and real-time calculation in embedded C. The clear 1-2 hour build path also suits hobbyists who want a quick weather dashboard for their desk.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to talk to the AI companion trained on this Feels Like Kit; it can guide you through wiring, code, or formula tweaks, and you can reach us on WhatsApp for a human backup.
Is the anemometer included in the kit?
No, the kit provides everything to read a standard pulse-output cup anemometer (like the common wind speed sensor). You can connect your own anemometer to the digital input pin to measure wind speed and enable wind chill calculation.
Can I use the kit without an external anemometer?
Absolutely. The build works as a temperature and humidity display out of the box. You can simulate wind speed using a push button on the breadboard, or just calculate heat index in still air - still a complete learning experience.
Are the wind chill and heat index formulas accurate?
Yes, the included Arduino code uses internationally accepted formulas from NOAA and the US National Weather Service, giving scientifically valid apparent temperature values you can trust for a school project or personal reference.
Combines wind chill and heat index to show apparent temperature from DHT22 and anemometer input.
