  2. Wind chill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_chill

    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.

    For example, in a scenario where the actual temperature is 10 degrees but the "feels like" temperature is -5 degrees, what that really means is that the wind chill is making it feel as if the air ...

    If the temperature is 0 degrees and the wind is blowing at 15 mph, the wind chill is 19 degrees below zero. Low wind chill numbers are a sign you need to dress for colder conditions.

    You can also approximate the wind chill with a little mental math: If the temperature is minus 13 degrees and the wind speed is 15 mph, the wind chill will be somewhere between minus 32 and minus 39.

  6. Apparent temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_temperature

    The heat index and humidex measure the effect of humidity on the perception of temperatures above +27 °C (81 °F). In humid conditions, the air feels much hotter, because less perspiration evaporates from the skin. The wind chill factor measures the effect of wind speed on cooling of the human body below 10 °C (50 °F). As airflow increases ...

  7. Extreme cold warning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_cold_warning

    The warning was issued if the temperature fell to −35 °F (−37 °C) or colder with a wind of less than 5 mph (8 km/h; 2 m/s). [6] It was an experimental advisory for when the air temperature was dangerously cold, but the wind was too little to warrant a Wind Chill Watch or Warning. [7]

    With high wind speeds forecasted in the state, it'll feel much colder than the actual temperature. Here's what to know about wind chill and what the term means.

  9. Temperature measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_measurement

    The wind chill factor makes the weather feel colder under windy conditions than calm conditions even though a glass thermometer shows the same temperature. Airflow increases the rate of heat transfer from or to the body, resulting in a larger change in body temperature for the same ambient temperature.
