Overview :
Estimate the
wind chill if only wind speed and temperature are known.
wind chill =
= 91.4 - ((91.4
- (temperature)) * (0.478 + (0.301* (SQRT((wind speed)))) - (0.02 * (wind
speed))))
where:
• wind speed is
in mph
• temperature is
in °F
Limitations:
• wind speed
must be >= 4 mph
• temperature
must be < 92 °F
NOTE: The
equation in the reference showed the latter half of the equation as (0.478 +
(0.301* (SQRT((wind speed) - (0.02 * (wind speed)))))). Since this did not give
correct answers, adjustments were made to get the above equation.
