¿Qué es la sensación térmica?

Wind chill is the perceived decrease in air temperature felt by the body on exposed skin due to air flow. Wind increases the rate of heat loss from the body, making the temperature feel colder than the actual air temperature. The NWS Wind Chill Index uses a formula based on advances in science, technology, and computer modelling to provide an accurate way to measure cold-weather risk.

NWS Wind Chill Formula

WC = 35.74 + 0.6215×T − 35.75×V0.16 + 0.4275×T×V0.16

Where T = air temperature (°F), V = wind speed (mph)

Válido cuando T ≤ 50 °F y V ≥ 3 mph

3 Calculation Types

sensación térmica

Enter air temperature and wind speed. Get feels-like temperature + risk.

Temperature from WC

Enter wind chill and wind speed. Finds actual air temperature.

Wind Speed from WC

Enter wind chill and temperature. Finds wind speed using iterative solving.

Wind Chill Risk Categories

Wind Chill (°F) Categoría Effect
≥ 32Pequeño peligroLittle danger for properly clothed person.
0 – 31PrecauciónRisk of hypothermia with prolonged exposure.
−1 – −20PeligroExposed skin can freeze in 10 minutes.
−21 – −40High DangerExposed skin can freeze in 5 minutes.
< −40Peligro extremoExposed skin can freeze in under 2 minutes.

Notas importantes

  • Wind chill only applies when T ≤ 50 °F (10 °C) and V ≥ 3 mph.
  • Wind chill only affects exposed skin, not inanimate objects.
  • Dress according to wind chill, not just air temperature.
  • Unidades de velocidad del viento admitidas: mph, km/h, m/s.
