How to Determine Wind Chill and Frostbites Times

Using a wind chill chart can help you in many ways. Wind chill temperature can have a negative effect on you or even possibly your equipment. The wind chill temperature tends to be lower than the actual temperature as it factors how air temperature is affected by wind speed. This can accelerate the onset of frostbite in a person as well as lower the temperature of your equipment. Wind chill can lower the temperature of your equipment to the ambient (surrounding) temperature at a much higher rate of speed. Using the below chart, you can estimate what the wind chill temperature is in your environment and how quickly frostbite will set in. With this information, you can take precautions to protect yourself and your equipment making for a much better outcome!
