Understanding Wind Chill

Wind chill is the effect of wind on heat loss from your skin. It determines how cold it actually feels.

The formula is only applicable for temperatures ≤50°F (≈10°C) and wind speeds > 3 mph.

Cold Weather Safety Tips

  • Dress in layers with a wind-resistant outer layer
  • Cover exposed skin when wind chill is severe
  • Stay dry; wet clothing loses insulation
  • Limit outdoor time in extreme conditions
  • Be aware of frostbite and hypothermia signs

Common Conversion Formulas

FromToFormula
Wind Chill (°F)Temperature (T in °F), Wind Speed (V in mph)Wind Chill = 35.74 + 0.6215T - 35.75(V^0.16) + 0.4275T(V^0.16)
Wind Chill (°C)Temperature (T in °C), Wind Speed (V in km/h)Wind Chill = 13.12 + 0.6215T - 11.37(V^0.16) + 0.3965T(V^0.16)
Frostbite TimeWind Chill Temperature (WCT in °F)≤ 0°F: High Risk, ≤ -18°F: 30 minutes, ≤ -45°F: 10 minutes
Heat Loss RateWind Chill IndexHigher wind chill index = faster heat loss from exposed skin
