determine who will feel colder: a person in Minneapolis at 10 degrees F with a 15 mph wind or a person in Chicago at 20 degrees F with a 25 mph wind.
The formula:
W = 91.4-
:
Minneapolis: t=10, v=15
W = 91.4-
:
W = 91.4-
:
W = 91.4-
:
W = 91.4-
:
W = 91.4-
:
W = 91.4 - 109.89
:
W = -18.5 degrees wind chill
:
:
Chicago: t=20, v=25
W = 91.4-
:
W = 91.4-
:
W = 91.4-
:
W = 91.4-
:
W = 91.4-
:
W = 91.4 - 106.29
:
W = -14.88 degrees wind chill
:
It's a little colder in Minneapolis, but I doubt if one could notice it
