Estimate what the temperature feels like in cold and windy weather. Enter air temperature and wind speed to calculate wind chill in Fahrenheit and Celsius with a simple cold weather risk guide.
Air temperature:
Enter the outdoor air temperature.
Wind speed:
Enter the wind speed. The calculator can use mph, km/h, m/s, or knots.
Unit conversion:
The calculator converts the values to the standard wind chill formula using Fahrenheit and miles per hour.
Wind chill result:
The result estimates the feels-like temperature on exposed skin in cold, windy conditions.
A wind chill calculator is useful for winter weather, outdoor work, school activities, sports, walking, hunting, camping, travel, and planning around cold conditions.
The actual risk can vary based on clothing, exposure time, moisture, health, age, wind gusts, and how long skin is exposed.
Your wind chill result estimates what the air feels like when wind removes heat from exposed skin. For example, a cold day can feel much colder when wind speed increases, even though the actual air temperature has not changed.
Wind chill is an estimate of how cold the air feels on exposed skin when wind speed is included.
No. Wind chill does not lower the measured air temperature. It estimates how cold the air feels to the body.
Wind chill is most useful when temperatures are cold and there is noticeable wind, especially around 50°F or below.
Yes. Choose Celsius for temperature and kilometers per hour for wind speed. The calculator converts the values automatically.
