Wind Chill Warning- Issued for dangerous, life-threatening wind chills below minus 25F.
WIND CHILL INDEX The calculation of temperature that takes into consideration the effects of wind and temperature on the human body. Describes the average loss of body heat and how the temperature feels. This is not the actual air temperature.
Wind chill
Based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by the combined effects of wind and cold. As the wind speed increases, heat is carried away from the body at an accelerated rate, driving down the body temperature.
Wind Chill The wind chill is the effect of the wind on people and animals.
Wind Chill Advisory
The National Weather Service issues this product when the wind chill could be life threatening if action is not taken. The criteria for this warning varies from state to state.
Wind Chill Factor ...
Wind chill - a pseudo temperature which lets people know what the cooling effect of the wind would feel like.
Wind shear - a velocity gradient. The change in speed and direction over a set change in position of the observer.
WIND CHILL TEMPERATURE (WCT): The wind chill temperature is how cold people and animals feel due to heat loss from exposed skin caused by wind and cold.
Wind Chill- the additional cooling effect resulting from wind blowing on bare skin.
Wind Direction- the direction from which the wind is blowing.
wind chill equivalent temperature: air temperature index that attempts to quantify how cold the air feels when skin is exposed to low air temperature and wind. The faster the wind blows, the colder the air will feel.
Wind Chill - The portion of the cooling of the human body caused by air motion. Wind chill becomes important for human health as air motion accelerates the rate of heat loss from a human body, especially when temperatures are below 45oF.
Wind Chill Index
(Wind Chill Factor, Chill Factor) Index used to determine the relative discomfort resulting from a specific combination of wind speed and air temperature, expressed by the loss of body heat in watts per square meter (of skin).
Wind chill equivalent temperature A theoretical air temperature at which the heat loss from exposed skin under calm conditions is equivalent to the heat loss at the actual air temperature and under the actual wind speeds.
WIND CHILL- The apparent temperature that describes the cooling effect on exposed skin by the combination of temperature and wind, expressed as a loss of body heat. An increase in wind speed or decrease in temperature will accelerate the effect.
Wind Chill The wind can reduce significantly the amount of heat your body retains.
Wind chill index (also called wind-chilled factor.) The cooling effect of any combination of temperature and wind, expressed as the loss of body heat in kilograms per hour per square meter of skin surface.
WIND CHILL: The accelerated heat loss from exposed skin due to increased wind speed. A non-physical value which combines the effect of air temperature and the wind speed to illustrate how it "feels."

Wind chill: see wind chill equivalent temperature.Wind rose: a diagram, for a given locality or area, showing the frequency and strength of the wind from various directions.
Wind Chill
The portion of the cooling of a human body caused by air motion. Air motion accelerates the rate of heat transfer from a human body to the surrounding atmosphere, especially when temperatures are below about 7°C (45°F).
Wind Direction ...
Wind Chill Factor - It's a number that expresses the cooling effect of moving air at different temperatures. Only air temperature and wind speed is used in the calculation of wind chill temperatures.
It gives the current weather condition in one word (cloudy, rain, snow, fog, etc.), the temperature and dew point in Fahrenheit, the relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and finally additional information (wind chill, heat index, ...
For instance, wind chill has been investigated to determine the time period an individual can sustain exposure to given temperature and wind conditions.
