As the speed of the wind increases, your body will notice a decrease in temperature because the wind over skin helps to dissipate heat from the body. To understand how cold is the environment, the wind speed is combined with the temperature to calculate "Wind Chill Temperature". The Wind chill temperature provides an estimate of the cooling power of the environment and thus plays an important role in the cold stress risk assessment and preventing workers from its severe adverse health effects such as frostbite and hypothermia.
The Cold Stress Calculator was created as a simple means for determining what precautions should be taken to protect workers from cold stress related adverse health outcomes. One can enter outdoor temperature and wind speed to calculate the adjusted temperature or wind chill temperature.
