    Does the UK have statistics for the coldest ever wind chill recorded?

    The wind chill temperature depends a great deal on which formual you use. For instance a temp' of 5c in a 22 mph wind gives a wind chill value of -7c on the Steadman model, -1c on the U.S.A Canadian met' office scale and -12c on the Siple-Pasell model.

    I recorded values around -25c on the U.S.A scale and -40c on Siple-Pasell in Jan' 1987.
