New England's about to get its lowest wind chills since 2016. Here's what that will actually feel like.
During winter and times of extreme cold, cities and municipalities make decisions based upon these extreme temperatures. Upon examination, decision support is far more difficult when using temperature alone. That standalone temperature doesn’t give a complete perspective. It only tells what the thermometer is reading.temperature, is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by the effects of the wind and cold.
Similarly, imagine driving a motorcycle on a calm but cool day. When the motorcycle goes fast, skin that’s exposed will cool quickly as it’s losing body heat. While not identical, its cousin during the summer is the heat index. Both are perceived temperatures on the body, though heat index takes into account atmospheric moisture.Wind chill does not impact inanimate objects like car radiators and exposed water pipes, because these objects cannot cool below the actual air temperature.
-Please make plans to check on your elderly neighbors, and those without a source of heating this coming weekend.
