This page is for the term "wind chill." For the film, see
Wind Chill. Wind chill is the apparent
temperature felt on exposed
skin due to the combination of
air temperature and
wind speed. Except at higher temperatures, where wind chill is considered less important, the wind chill temperature (often popularly called the "wind chill factor") is always lower than the air temperature. In cases where the apparent temperature is higher than the air temperature, the
Heat Index (HI) is used instead.
