Wind Chill
The wind chill represents how the temperature would feel on your skin if the wind were reduced to a walking pace of 4.8 km/h. The wind chill is expressed in temperature-like units, but because it is not the actual air temperature, it is given without the degree sign. For example, if the outside temperature is -10° C and the wind chill is -20, it means that your face will feel as cold as it would on a calm day when the temperature is -20°C.
Wind chill causes open water to freeze more quickly. Periods of high wind chill will boost home heating costs and reduce the effectiveness of automobile block heaters. Frostbite becomes an increasing threat to humans and animals.Wet skin or wet clothing in direct contact with skin increases the effective wind chill.
