The term used to describe the rate of heat loss on the body resulting from the combined effect of low temperature and wind. As winds increase, heat is carried away from the body at a faster rate, driving down both the skin temperature and eventually the internal body temperature. Exposure to low wind chills can be life threatening to both humans an [..]

Reference to the Wind Chill Factor; increased wind speeds accelerate heat loss from exposed skin, and the wind chill is a measure of this effect. No specific rules exist for determining when wind chil [..]

apparent (not actual) temperature felt on the exposed human body due to the combination of temperature and wind speed.

The portion of the cooling of a human body caused by air motion. Air motion accelerates the rate of heat transfer from a human body to the surrounding atmosphere, especially when temperatures are belo [..]

Wind chill temperature is how cold living things feel when outside. It is a relative temperature calculated to determine the rate of heat loss from exposed skin.

The additional cooling effect resulting from wind blowing on bare skin. The wind chill is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by the combined effects of wind and cold. The (equival [..]

Wind lowers the perceived temperature of the air. Describes how cold it feels on our skin when the effect of air temperature and wind speed are combined. The lower the air temperature and the more the [..]

Wind chill is the cooling effect of the wind in combination with low temperatures. When it is windy, we feel colder because our skin temperature is lower. This sensation of cold is what the wind chill [..]

The wind can reduce significantly the amount of heat your body retains. The following wind chill chart does not take into account such variables as type of clothing worn, amount of exposed flesh, and [..]

The wind chill is the effect of the wind on people and animals. The wind chill temperature is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by wind and cold and is to give you an approximation of how cold the air feels on your body. As the wind increases, it removes heat from the body, driving down skin temperature and eventually the inte [..]

Reference to the Wind Chill Factor; increased wind speeds accelerate heat loss from exposed skin, and the wind chill is a measure of this effect. No specific rules exist for determining when wind chill becomes dangerous. As a general rule, the threshold for potentially dangerous wind chill conditions is about -20°F.

Based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by the combined effects of wind and cold. As the wind speed increases, heat is carried away from the body at an accelerated rate, driving down the body temperature. The wind chill temperature is an 'apparent' temperature and gives a better estimate of how cold it really feels outside [..]

The temperature it feels like to people and animals. The wind chill is a combination of temperature and wind.

The perceived cooling that a person feels due to loss of body heat as wind passes over exposed skin. The loss of heat is greater the faster the wind blows.

A temperature value that takes into account the effects of air temperature and wind speed on exposed human skin. It is not the actual temperature, but describes the average loss of heat from the body [..]

Increased wind speeds accelerate heat loss from exposed skin. No specific rules exist for determining when wind chill becomes dangerous. As a general rule, the threshold for potentially dangerous wind [..]

Wind chill is an index to indicate how cold the weather feels to the average person. It is derived by combining temperature and wind velocity values into one number to reflect the perceived temperatur [..]

The apparent temperature that describes the cooling effect on exposed skin by the combination of temperature and wind, expressed as a loss of body heat. An increase in wind speed or decrease in temperature will accelerate the effect. A wind chill factor of 30 degrees or lower on exposed skin will result in frostbite in a short period of time.

The calculation of temperature that takes into account the effects of wind and temperature on the human body.

When the wind blows on your skin it strips away heat, making it feel colder than a similar day with no wind.

Cooling effect of exposed skin caused by the wind

Wind chill is the cooling our body feels when the impact of temperature and wind are combined. Normally, on a relatively calm day our body is able to provide some protection from the outside temperature by heating up a thin layer of air that lies close to the skin. This added insulation is known as a boundary layer. On windy days, however, this ins [..]

takes into account how the speed of the wind affects our perception of the air temperature

The wind chill data recorded by the wind sensor is displayed with current temperature, minimum and maximum temperature recording. The recorded minimum and maximum wind chill values within a period are [..]
