MOTORCYCLE DISTANCE RIDING WIND CHILL CALCULATOR

To use this wind chill calculator, simply fill in the fields for temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) and wind speed (in miles-per-hour), then click the Calculate button. Note the following:

• This WCT index is only defined for temperatures at or below 50 degrees Fahrenheit and wind speeds above 3 MPH.
  
  
• Wind speeds of greater than 40 mph have little additional chilling affect. Also, very high wind speeds or temperature extremes may produce erroneous calculations.
  
  
• This WCT calculation assumes a clear night sky, i.e., no impact from solar radiation. Bright sunshine can increase the wind chill temperature by 10 to 18 degrees Fahrenheit.
