The temperature outside was a brisk 20 degrees Fahrenheit, but with the wind chill factor, it felt more like 10 degrees, making it essential to bundle up before stepping outside.

What is the wind chill of 10 mph and -5 degrees?

The wind chill factor makes the outside temperature feel like -9.7°F.


What is the wind chill factor if the temperature is 0 degrees Fahrenheit and 20mph wind speed?

The wind chill factor is -22 degrees Fahrenheit when the temperature is 0 degrees Fahrenheit and the wind speed is 20 mph. This means that it will feel like -22 degrees Fahrenheit due to the combined effect of temperature and wind speed on the body.


What two variables does the wind chill factor take into account?

temperature and humidity


Why do weather forcasters oftenreport the wind chill factor in winter?

Simple because during the winter it is obviously cold and if the wind is expected to blow they factor in the wind speed to come up with a wind chill. That wind chill is the what feels like temperature. Such as they could forecast a low of 25 but, if the wind is expected to blow around 10mph then the wind chill will make it feel like 20 or lower. In the summer though when it is hot if it is say 90 degrees and the humidity is around 50% then that 90 might feel like close to 100 or more.


A measure of cooling combining the effects of temperature and wind speed?

The measure of cooling that combines temperature and wind speed is called the wind chill factor. It indicates how cold it feels to the human body when exposed to the elements, taking into account both the actual air temperature and the rate at which heat is lost from the body due to the combination of temperature and wind speed.

No wind chill factor at that temperature.


How do you calculate the windshield factor?

The windshield factor is calculated by taking the outside temperature and wind speed into account to estimate how cold it feels on your skin. It combines the cooling effect of wind with the actual air temperature to give you an idea of the perceived temperature. The formula typically used to calculate windshield factor is the wind chill index.

What is meant by the phrase chill factor?

It refers to wind chill factor. This is the decrease in air temperature that someone would feel because of a cold breeze of air flow. The wind chill factor will be lower than the air temperature. The opposite would be used with the heat index.


What is the wind chill factor if the temperature is 0 degrees Fahrenheit and 20mph wind speed?

Does a hibernal wind make you hide or give you a chill?

Is the increased cooling that a wind can cause called the Coriolis effect?

Wind Chill is the scale you need. In the late 1930s a Boy Scout was invited to travel to the Antarctic with Byrd's expedition, and this person was Paul Siple. One of the experiments he devised was to measure the rate of cooling in various wind strengths and temperatures, of water filled bottles. From such simple beginnings, Wind Chill measurement was started.
