Feels like -13.0°C

Formula (Canada 2001)

  1. 1WCI = 13.12 + 0.6215T − 11.37V^0.16 + 0.3965·T·V^0.16
  2. 2T = -5°C，V = 30 km/h，V^0.16 = 1.723
  3. 3WCI = 13.12 + -3.11 − 19.59 + -3.42 = -13.0°C

💡 Wind doesn't lower air temperature — it strips away the thin warm layer your body heats, making you LOSE heat faster. The formula (T≤10°C, wind≥4.8km/h) is calibrated for a walking person's face. Wet clothing multiplies heat loss 25× — stay dry first, then block wind.
