This chart lets you estimate the wind chill without having to do the math yourself. Find the value closest to the temperature at the top of the chart and the wind speed to the left.
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 answer to "feels like" temperature, according to the National Weather Service, has to do with wind, or wind chill to be more specific. While the actual temperature signifies the temperature of ...
The wind chill temperature is how cold people (and animals) feel while outside. Wind chill is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by the combination of wind and cold, according ...
For example, when the temperature is 32 °C (90 °F) with 70% relative humidity, the heat index is 41 °C (106 °F) (see table below). The heat index is meant to describe experienced temperatures in the shade, but it does not take into account heating from direct sunlight, physical activity or cooling from wind.
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.
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.
This product replaced the Wind Chill Watch in October 2024. [42] [43] Cold weather advisory NPW – Seasonably cold air temperatures or wind chill values, but not extremely cold values, are expected or occurring. The temperature and wind chill criteria vary significantly over different county warning areas based on climate variability.
