FOX6 News invites you to click and print off a copy of the National Weather Service wind chill chart.
The NWS office in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in conjunction with Oral Roberts University's mathematics department, published an approximation formula to the WBGT that takes into account cloud cover and wind speed; in limited experimentation (four samples), the office claimed the estimate was regularly accurate to within 0.5 °F (0.28 °C), even with a ...
Wind chill index values for a range of temperatures and wind speeds, from the standard wind chill formula for Environment Canada. Wind chill (popularly wind chill factor) is the sensation of cold produced by the wind for a given ambient air temperature on exposed skin as the air motion accelerates the rate of heat transfer from the body to the surrounding atmosphere.
Frostbite is dangerous and can often happen quickly, depending on both the temperature and wind chill factor. Here’s how to know if it’s frostbite and how to treat it. Frostbite can strike ...

Apparent temperature, also known as "feels like", [1] [2] is the temperature equivalent perceived by humans, caused by the combined effects of air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed. The measure is most commonly applied to the perceived outdoor temperature.
The heat index was developed in 1979 by Robert G. Steadman. [1] [2] Like the wind chill index, the heat index contains assumptions about the human body mass and height, clothing, amount of physical activity, individual heat tolerance, sunlight and ultraviolet radiation exposure, and the wind speed.
The wind chill formula seems on the face of it to only be valid for certain range of values. E.g., it seems strange that when V=0 it doesn't reduce to the ambient air temperature. Also, doesn't wind chill apply in other circumstances such as when riding a motorcycle? For this situation rather higher temperatures and velocities might be interesting.
