Rivers, MB | To add to that,
windchill is the temperature we "feel" because of moisture evaporating from our skin. The heat to evaporate the moisture comes from our skin and causes the temp to drop to the "windchill" temperature right at the skin surface. That's why an inanimate object (something not alive) will not "feel" windchill. And why relative humidity affects the windchill affect. Basically the cold version of a humidex.
That being said, wind will affect the rate of heat loss from any object. hence, a block heater will not keep an engine as warm when its subject to wind because the rate of heat loss from the engine is faster than when its calm. | |
