Wind Chill Calculator

The wind chill calculator is a tool for estimating the combined effect of the temperature and wind on humans. It uses the wind speed, air temperature, and wind chill factor to calculate how cold it actually feels outside.

What is wind chill?

The wind chill is a measure of how cold it feels, not how cold it actually is. The wind chill is caused by the combined effects of low temperatures and high winds.

The Windchill Chart was developed to help people understand how external conditions affect the body. The chart is based on an equation that converts a given air temperature and wind speed into a single number called the “Wind Chill Temperature.”

If you’re hiking or camping in cold weather, this tool can help you predict dangerous conditions and prepare accordingly. For example, if you’re planning an outdoor activity like skiing or snowmobiling in cold weather, knowing that your hands are likely to get colder faster than other parts of your body will let you know when it’s time to put on a pair of gloves. Knowing how hard it is for your skin surface temperature to warm up after being exposed for long periods of time will also help prevent frostbite.

Frostbite

Frostbite is a condition in which the skin freezes. It is caused by prolonged exposure to extreme cold and wind. The most common areas of frostbite are on the cheeks, nose, chin, and ears; but it can occur anywhere on the body.

Frostbite occurs when your skin temperature falls below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). According to Mayo Clinic’s website, this can happen when you’re exposed to freezing temperatures for an extended period of time without adequate protection from wind or sun exposure—typically on exposed parts of your body like fingers or toes—or if you move from warm environments into very cold ones too quickly without properly acclimating yourself first.

In addition to cold temperatures and wind causing frostbite symptoms such as numbness or tingling in extremities like fingers/toes or hands/feet that may result after only five minutes’ exposure if not protected,” says Dr. Melissa Piliang over email.”Sunburns aren’t just a summertime concern—they can also happen year-round.” Sunburns are more likely during winter months because UV rays reflect off snow cover instead of being absorbed by water vapor as they do during warmer seasons according to experts at WebMD who explain how much sunlight reaches Earth through clouds varies depending upon cloud type.

Hypothermia

Hypothermia is a medical condition that occurs when the body’s core temperature drops below normal. When this happens, your internal organs begin to slow down and eventually stop functioning properly.

You can develop hypothermia if you experience cold or wet weather for long periods of time without adequate clothing to protect yourself from these conditions. Hypothermia can also occur at high altitudes or in other situations where low temperatures are present but humidity levels are high, since the body may not be able to sweat effectively enough to cool itself down.

How to use the wind chill calculator

The wind chill calculator calculates how cold it feels based on the temperature and wind speed. You can input the wind speed manually, or you can pick the wind type, at which point, the calculator will determine the wind speed. You have the following wind type options:

• Light air
• Light breeze
• Gentle breeze
• Moderate breeze
• Fresh breeze
• Strong breeze
• Strong breeze
• High wind
• Gale
• Strong gale
• Storm
• Violent storm
• Hurricane-force
