Record wind chill

[J07]

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

Good question. I don't have an answer but 13th Jan 1987 won't exactly have felt like a hair drier in Margate...

Well sea ice did begin to form in Whitstable harbour for a while so they would have felt at home for a week or so...

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.
