How it works

Estimates wind chill in Fahrenheit using air temperature and wind speed in miles per hour.

Formula and assumptions

The standard wind-chill equation is intended for temperatures at or below 50°F and wind speeds above 3 mph. It estimates exposed-skin cooling, not actual air temperature.

Example

Use the sample values, calculate, and change one input at a time.
