Abstract
Abstract The rate of heat loss from the human body by low temperatures and wind is commonly referred to as “Wind Chill”. Traditionally the term means the rate of heat removal from the bare skin only. It neglects such important factors as clothing insulation, metabolic heat generation and sunshine. This paper presents a new windchill index which includes the above parameters and discusses its advantages over the present concept of windchill. The principal advantage being that the new index may be directly correlated to human comfort or discomfort. In addition, the windchill may be adjusted for different clothing levels, metabolic rates, and solar radiation.
