Motorcycle Wind Chill Chart
What is Wind Chill?
Wind chill is the term used to describe how cold the air feels on your skin due to the combined effect of the actual air temperature and the wind speed.
It’s important to understand that wind chill is not the actual air temperature, but rather a measure of how quickly your body loses heat.
The stronger the wind and the lower the air temperature, the greater the wind chill effect, and the colder it will feel.
This chart shows how speed affects wind chill. For example, riding at 20mph with an outside temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, your body will experience a wind chill of -1 degrees Celsius.
