I would like to know how to calculate Temperature Humidity Wind Index (THW Index)? I know how to calculate Heat Index and Wind Chill. I am asking this because my weather station Davis Vantage Pro2 calculates THW index but I could not find any information on NOAA. This is what it says under Help for my weather station:

The THW Index uses humidity, temperature and wind to calculate an apparent temperature that incorporates the cooling effects of wind on our perception of temperature.

eHow.com has an explanation for how to calculate the THW index.

The Heat Index formula is complicated enough I don't want to try doing it in markup; but the wikipedia article you linked has that formula. From there THW is simple enough.

THW = HI - (1.072 * W)

Note that the formulas require a temperature in Degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed in miles per hour.
