Feels like: it doesn't always feel like what the thermometer says, wind chill and humidity can make it feel warmer or colder.

barometer: how much air pressure there is.

Humidity: it's 76% of the maximum amount of water that the air can hold. The hotter it is, the more the air can hold.

Dewpoint: the temperature that it needs to be for dew to form.

Visibility: yes, the distance that you can see.
