Charles Eagan (1921 – March 11, 2010) was a Canadian scientist working in cold weather physiology, known primarily for advancing the wind chill formula.. Antarctic explorers Paul Siple and Charles Passel had created their original formula for wind chill measurements in 1939 by drawing on data that showed how long it took water to freeze in a cylinder under various wind and temperature ...
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.
