Hi, I'm new around here. Bought myself a boat so I guess I can start typing
OT topic as well ;-) Although, this one started on topic :-)

There is another explanation for wind chill (I come from Québec so we have
more days with wind chill factor than with heat humidex :-( ).

Take a DRY object at room temperature and put outside at 0 Celcius with calm
wind and put another one outside with gusting wind. Guess which one will
reach 0 Celcius first? The one with gusting winds. Why? Because the ambiant
heat around it will dissipate faster when its windy than when it's calm,
hence cooling the object faster..
