WeatherWhys®: 11/24

WeatherWhys (R): Wind chill is a measure of how fast heat is being removed from your body. It is a function of temperature and wind speed; however, wind is the biggest player. The stronger the wind, the colder you feel. As the wind increases, the rate at which heat is being removed increases exponentially.
