Don't you need BEGIN and END lines in there, e.g.:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "public"."cproc_hli" (bgtemp NUMERIC,
humidity NUMERIC, wspeed NUMERIC) RETURNS NUMERIC AS
BEGIN
  IF ($1 < 25) THEN
    SELECT (10.66 * (0.28 * $2)+(1.3 * $1) - $3) ;
  ELSE
    SELECT (8.62 * (0.38 * $2) + (1.55 * $1) - (0.5 * $3) + (exp(- $3 +
2.4))) ;
  END IF ;
END ;
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT SECURITY
INVOKER;
