Cold Weather-Wind Chill

  • Not the actual temperature
  • Estimated by how temperature and wind speed feel on exposed skin
  • Unprotected portions of the body can chill rapidly and should be protected as much as possible
  • A 10 mph wind combined with a 30 Fahrenheit temperature can have the same chilling effect on the body as a temperature of 21 Fahrenheit in a calm atmosphere
