Russia Ukraine War

The attacks came as Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to Istanbul for talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He will also meet with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the spiritual leader of Eastern Orthodox Christians.

Russia fired 286 drones at Ukraine overnight, 260 of which were downed, the Ukrainian Air Force said in an online statement.

Five people — three women and two men — were killed in the city of Nikopol in the Dnipropetrovsk region, and 19 others, including a 14-year-old girl, were wounded, head of the regional military administration Oleksandr Hanzha said. The attack damaged market stalls and a shop.

In the city of Sumy, not far from the border with Russia, a strike injured 11 people, including a 15-year-old, the National Police said. Residential areas were hit, and houses, cars and utility networks were damaged in the attack.

In the capital, Kyiv, a drone strike caused a fire on the first floor of a three-story office and warehouse building, Ukraine's State Emergency Service said. No casualties were reported.

The Russian Defense Ministry claimed Saturday that its forces fired "long-range air- and ground-based precision weapons, as well as strike drones" at unspecified "military-industrial and energy facilities used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces."

In a separate statement, the ministry said that the Russian military overnight shot down 85 Ukrainian drones over nine Russian regions, the annexed Crimea region and the Black Sea.

In Russia's Rostov region, on the border with Ukraine, one person was killed and four sustained injuries, according to the region's governor, Yuri Slyusar. The attack sparked a fire at a warehouse facility of an unspecified logistics company, and another fire on a dry-cargo vessel flying a foreign flag several kilometers from the shore, Slyusar said.

In the Samara region's city of Tolyatti, one person was wounded, Gov. Vyacheslav Fedorishchev said. The roof of a residential building was damaged, and windows were shattered in several apartments, he said.

Ask A Met: Wind Chill Vs. Heat Index

Ask A Met: Wind Chill Vs. Heat Index

Meteorologist Tiffany Savona:The wind affects the feels-like temperatures during the winter and the summer, but strong winds are more noticeable in the winter months, while high humidity is more noticeable in the summer months. Here's why.

The Weather Channel feels like temp

The National Weather Service defines the term wind chill as "how cold people and animals feel when outside. Wind chill is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by wind and cold."

When it's cold outside, your body generates a warm layer of air around your skin. As the wind increases, it disrupts this layer, exposing your skin to the colder weather, which eventually drops your body temperature. This is why itfeelsmuch colder when it is cold and windy outside. Cold air is also much drier than warmer air, so humidity doesn't play a factor during the wintertime.

Let's talk about the heat index. A warm summer breeze just doesn't have the same effect on the body compared to a frigid winter wind. Yes, the wind can help cool you off, which is how fans work, but it's more about the relative humidity and feels-like temperatures. Heat index is a measure of how hot it feels when the relative humidity is factored into the actual air temperature.

Bottom line is that sweating is how your body cools itself. Your body starts to sweat when you get too hot. Then the sweat begins to evaporate, which is a cooling process. When there is a lot of moisture in the air and the relative humidity is high, it becomes harder for the sweat to evaporate from your body. So you begin to feel even hotter.

The wind chill and heat index charts were created to give ranges when weather conditions can become too dangerous to be outside. Keep in mind that the actual air temperature is taken in the shade, so the sun can actually make it feel even more uncomfortable on those hot and humid summer days.
