Default Wind Chill

Yes, I have often wondered about the usefulness of wind-chill figures in
general public forecasts.

One curious thing which as always confused me, is why the w-c calculator
takes no account of the humidity of the air. I think most people would
agree that a 20 mph wind and an air temperature of minus 1 will feel
different if the dew point is either minus 1, or minus 10.


The Met Office "feels like" temperatures _do_ take into account humidity.
