Wind Chill Calculator
This calculator estimates the temperature felt by the body as a result of wind speed and actual air temperature. The calculator works for air temperatures between -50°F and 50°F.
Activity 1: Visualize Wind Chill Effect
Adjust the sliders to see how wind speed affects perceived temperature
Activity 2: Wind Chill Comparison
Compare how different combinations feel
Wind Chill Calculator
The Wind Chill Calculator helps you determine how cold it feels outside when wind speed and air temperature combine to create a chilling effect on exposed skin. Wind chill is the perceived drop in temperature caused by wind blowing away the thin layer of warm air surrounding your body, making it feel much colder than the actual air temperature.
Key Features:
✅ Interactive Calculator – Input temperature and wind speed to instantly see the “feels like” temperature.
✅ Multiple Unit Support – Works with °C, °F, Kelvin, km/h, mph, m/s, and knots.
✅ Heat Loss Estimation – Shows how much heat your skin loses (in watts/m²) under given conditions.
✅ Visual Activities – Engaging simulations to see how wind chill affects perceived temperature.
How It Works:
- Enter the air temperature and wind speed.
- Select your preferred units (Celsius/Fahrenheit, km/h/mph, etc.).
- Calculate to see the wind chill effect and heat loss.
- Explore interactive activities to better understand wind chill in different scenarios.
Why Use This Calculator?
- Plan outdoor activities more safely in cold weather.
- Understand frostbite risks in extreme wind chill conditions.
- Learn how wind speed dramatically changes perceived temperature.
Note: Wind chill calculations are most accurate for temperatures between -50°F to 50°F (-45°C to 10°C) and wind speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h).
