What is Wind Chill?
Wind chill is the apparent temperature felt on exposed skin due to the combined effect of air temperature and wind speed. It is not actually how cold the air is, but how cold it feels when wind is taken into account. Wind removes the thin layer of warm air that surrounds your body, making it feel colder than it actually is.
Key Features of Wind Chill
- Combines air temperature and wind speed to calculate perceived temperature
- Only applies when temperature is below 0°C (32°F)
- Wind speeds must exceed 4.8 km/h (3 mph) to have an effect
- Helps determine frost bite risk and safety guidelines
Benefits of Understanding Wind Chill
- Better preparation for outdoor activities in cold weather
- Understanding health risks associated with extreme cold
- Making informed decisions about winter clothing and exposure time
