How Cold Is It?

Wind Chill Chart shows temperature and wind speed at which frostbite can set in. See wind chill calculator at bottom of page for equivalent.

Now, if you live in Minnesota, you know we're in the purple zone right now.   I find a couple of things interesting about this graph:


  1. There isn't anything cold on this chart besides the purple zone.
  2. Despite the equation at the bottom of this chart, if you try to use the on-page calculator with values outside of the ones shown in the chart (e.g. 70 mph wind speed or -50 degree temp), the page shows an error message that you can only enter values that are on the chart.


So, math only works if the number is on this graph, I guess.
