What About Windchill? ___________________________________________________________________________      Windchill is closely related convective cooling. Its common knowledge that windchill causes cold temperatures to feel colder. That is simply because it allows the air around us to more rapidly gain heat from our bodies.     When standing still a layer of air around the body sticks with you and keeps that immediate air warmer thus cooling you more slowly. With a little wind that warm layer is stripped away and your body faces the brunt of the cold.
