Wind chill makes it feel much colder than it really is, so it's been described as a "feels-like" number. If the temperature is 0 degrees and the wind is blowing at 15 mph, the wind chill is 19 ...
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.
The already serious cold is made more dangerous by gusty winds, which are bringing dangerous wind chills to millions. The wind chill hit 57 degrees below zero in Rolla, North Dakota, Monday morning.
Sunday: Sun and clouds, windy and cold with highs in the mid-20s to low 30s with wind chill all day in the upper teens to low 20s Monday: Trending drier. Snow looks to stay to our south.
The simple interpretation of the wind chill is how cold the air feels when the wind is factored in. This is the winter counterpart to the "heat index" when it comes to "feels-like" temperatures.
An extreme cold watch is a weather watch issued by the United States' National Weather Service (NWS) to inform the public that "dangerously cold air, with or without wind, is possible." The extreme cold watch is a 'step' below the "extreme cold warning." [1] As of 1 October 2024, the NWS replaced the "wind chill watch" with the "extreme cold ...
The wind chill factor measures the effect of wind speed on cooling of the human body below 10 °C (50 °F). As airflow increases over the skin, more heat will be removed. Standard models and conditions are used.
The National Weather Service is forecasting winds up to 40 mph across much of Michigan today, which, combined with today's frosty temperatures, could mean dangerous wind chill reports.
