Estimate apparent temperature using air temperature and wind speed. This free weather calculator helps users understand how cold conditions may actually feel.
Enter temperature in Fahrenheit and wind speed in miles per hour to estimate wind chill.
This calculator uses the standard U.S. wind chill formula, which is most applicable at or below 50°F and wind speeds above 3 mph.
Wind chill is the apparent temperature felt by the human body when air temperature and wind speed are combined. Wind increases heat loss from exposed skin, making conditions feel colder than the actual air temperature.
Wind chill is often used for weather awareness, cold-weather planning, training conditions, and environmental safety.
No. Wind chill is the temperature the body may feel like it is experiencing when wind is included.
Wind chill is most useful in cold, windy conditions. It is generally intended for temperatures at or below 50°F and wind speeds above 3 mph.
