Description
|
|
•
|
The convert([t, s], windchill, [ut, us]) function converts the temperature-speed pair to the corresponding windchill factor corresponding to the units of temperature ut.
|
•
|
The convert([t*Unit(ut), s*Unit(us)], windchill ) function is similar to the first calling sequence.
|
•
|
The formula used by the National Weather Service is
|
|
where T is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, and V is the wind velocity in miles per hour. The result is the apparent temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
|
•
|
This calculation is intended as an approximation. It is used only for wind speeds between 4 mph ( ) and 50 mph ( ).
