In other words: the faster the wind blows during cold weather, the more quickly your body will be affected by the cold.
"The faster the wind speed, the faster our body heat is taken away and the colder it feels." "As wind blows across our bodies, it takes the heat we naturally emit and blows it away," Moore said. Moore likened the process of how wind affects body temperature to blowing on a bowl of hot soup in order to cool it down:
There's no equation for how wind chill affects pets, Carfagno said, and it doesn't apply to pipes.

That's what this equation does, based on those assumptions and based on the research, it will tell us, given a current temperature and a current wind speed, this is what it will feel like on the surface of the skin as you lose heat due to that heat transfer." "There was a lot of studies done where they measured how the wind affected the skin. "You can think of wind chill as an apparent temperature, what it feels like on your skin," Carfagno said. The weather service calculates wind chill using a formula that factors in wind speed in statute miles per hour and temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, Moore said. "So even if it remains the same temperature, but the wind speed increases, it will actually feel colder to your skin." How is wind chill calculated? "In simple terms, the colder the air temperature and the higher the wind speeds, the colder it will feel on your skin if you're outside," said Moore. Places like Des Moines, Iowa, where the temperature was -7 degrees Fahrenheit on Friday, are expected to feel even colder, with a wind chill factor of -35. In some parts of the country, temperatures could quickly plummet by as much as 50 degrees. "I can't remember personally ever seeing that widespread of a cold event." "Yesterday, we had wind chill warnings or advisories in 36 of the lower 48 states," Jen Carfagno, a meteorologist with the Weather Channel, told CBS News. About 180 million people are facing wind chill warnings or advisories, the National Weather Service said on Friday, warning that high winds from the cold front will produce "dangerous wind chill readings across nearly all of the central to eastern U.S." continuing into the weekend. under some form of winter weather advisory ahead of the holiday weekend, as a powerful Arctic front continues moving east. A historic winter storm has led to thousands of canceled flights and resulted in more than 240 million people in the U.S.
