WeatherHelper.CalculateWindchill(Temperature, Speed) Method

Definition

Calculates the wind chill temperature - this is the perceived temperature in (heavy) winds at cold temperatures. This is only useful at temperatures below about 20°C, above use CalculateHeatIndex(Temperature, RelativeHumidity) instead. Not suitable for wind speeds < 5 km/h.

public static UnitsNet.Temperature CalculateWindchill (UnitsNet.Temperature temperature, UnitsNet.Speed windSpeed);
static member CalculateWindchill : UnitsNet.Temperature * UnitsNet.Speed -> UnitsNet.Temperature
Public Shared Function CalculateWindchill (temperature As Temperature, windSpeed As Speed) As Temperature

Parameters

temperature
UnitsNet.Temperature

The measured air temperature

windSpeed
UnitsNet.Speed

The wind speed (measured at 10m above ground)

Returns

UnitsNet.Temperature

The perceived temperature. Note that this is not a real temperature, and the skin will never really reach this temperature. This is more an indication on how fast the skin will reach the air temperature. If the skin reaches a temperature of about -5°C, frostbite might occur.

Exceptions

The wind speed is less than zero
