The wind and the cold
Posted: 21 Jan 2011 07:04 AM
Very cold temperatures and a bit of wind have conspired over night to
bring bitterly cold wind chills to Iowa this Friday. The featured
chart presents the reported wind chill against the air temperature
during hours which the wind speed was measurable. Histograms of each
are presented at the side and top. -20°F is roughly an observed
threshold of wind chill where frequencies start declining at colder
temperatures. Of course, the most extreme values are even more rare
and often do not happen every year.
