Weather Tidbits: Wind Chill

This Weather Tidbits will discuss about wind chill. Our bodies emit heat, which provide a thin layer of protection from the cold. When there is wind blowing, that heat is blown away from our bodies. This will make it feel colder than the actual air temperature. What the temperature feels like on the exposed skin is wind chill. Wind chill takes into account the cold temperatures and the speed of the wind blowing on the skin. Increasing wind speed will increase the rate of heat loss from the body. This means that a faster wind speed will correlate to a lower wind chill temperature. If there is no wind in place, the feels-like temperature will be in alignment with the actual air temperature.
