Texting myself the weather every day

Might be a weird question but, what value do people get from knowing the current weather? I understand the value in forecasts of course, but doesn't "feeling" the current weather serve most practical purposes?

For me it's about being able to build a mental model of the relationship between the forecast and the feeling so when I look at a forecast for the future I have a better idea what that might actually feel like.

The numbers alone aren't enough especially in places with microclimates and shade etc.

If you walk or ride a bike, it reminds you to wear the right jacket (:

I live in a place where right now it's either 16C or 28C and looks the same in the morning. It's important for knowing what to wear
