What is Wind Chill?

Wind chill is the apparent temperature felt on exposed skin due to wind. Moving air accelerates heat loss from the body, making it feel colder than the actual air temperature.

Cold Weather Safety

Wear layers, cover exposed skin, watch for signs of frostbite (numbness, white patches) and hypothermia (shivering, confusion). Limit outdoor time in extreme conditions.

Wind Chill Formula

The NWS wind chill formula accounts for wind speed, temperature, and human heat loss. It's valid for temperatures at or below 50°F and wind speeds above 3 mph.
