![]() There was a problem loading the weather information. Includes forecasts up to 5 days and observations from the last 24 hours. When humidity is high, this evaporation reduces resulting in 'feels like' temperatures that appear warmer than the actual air temperature. Our wind map shows you the wind speed and direction across the UK. When a human perspires, the water in the sweat evaporates leading to the cooling of the body as the heat is carried away. The Wind Chill Chart of the same NOAA displays air temperature and wind speed (in mph) along the axes. When the wind speed is low in periods of high temperatures, the 'feels like' temperatures become more impacted by the humidity level. Screen capture of The Weather Channel broadcast, featuring Charlie Welsh, showing wind chill temperatures valid at 8 a.m. If it is windy, the wind will take the boundary layer away and the skin temperature will drop making us feel colder. The National Weather Service will even issue wind chill advisories and warnings when wind chill values drop low enough that they could cause frostbite or other harm to the skin in less than 30. On a calm day, our bodies insulate us with a boundary layer which warms the air closest to the skin. An example of this is in winter when winds blowing to the UK from a north- easterly direction make the 'feels like' temperatures colder than the actual air temperature. 'Feels like' temperatures throughout the year are particularly influenced by wind. This has the effect of moving heat away from the body and making the surrounding air feel colder than it actually is. ![]() Wind northwest 20 km/h gusting to 40 becoming light this evening. The 'feels like' temperature is especially important on windy days due to the effect of wind on the evaporation speed of moisture from skin, the stronger the wind, the faster the cooling of the skin. Wind Speed at 10m (33ft): mph knots m/sec km/h. Wind becoming northwest 30 km/h gusting to 50 near noon.
