WIND CHILL (Equivalent Temperature)

During the winter months many decisions are made which depend upon the temperatures and the extremes which might be expected. Not only do we dress according to the thermometer, but we use it to anticipate the feed requirements and care of livestock. If we have to be out-of-doors, as is the case with children who have to stand waiting for a school bus, we soon find that the temperature alone gives too little information. Should the temperature be zero with a light wind, we would not be as cold as with a strong wind. Thus if we have an idea of how much wind increases the chilling effect of temperature on the human body, we can get a better estimate of how "cold" it really is.
