Reading about heat indexes, which reminds me to let you know that there are two competing units for how much clothing a person is wearing – the clo and the tog: https://ergo.human.cornell.edu/studentdownloads/DEA3500notes/Thermal/thcomnotes1.html
Also, there was a standard wind chill index that was just a quick polynomial fit, and for really extreme winds, it inverted and modeled increasing apparent temperature: https://meteo.lcd.lu/papers/windchill/newwindchill.html
This seems sloppy, but if you think about it, the perceived temperature at infinite wind speed would also be infinite, due to ram effect heating and so on, so this actually has the correct sign for almost all wind speeds.
In conclusion, all the science happening in the heat index field is extremely normal and definitely absolutely nothing to be worried about.
