Questions and answers
What is feels-like temperature?
It factors in wind and humidity, so it matches how cold it feels better than a thermometer.
Why do babies get an extra layer?
Babies move less, so they usually need one more layer.
Is this medical advice?
No. It is a clothing guide; watch how your child feels and follow your GP’s or health visitor’s advice.
Where can I get advice for my weather?
In the Layer app: it reads temperature, wind, humidity and UV and suggests layers by age.
What should my child wear today?
Layer suggests layers from the forecast for your town.
