I know it's true, that's why I said it. Thanks for the approval though I guess? It's not meaningless. You said yourself it "removes existing heat from anything more quickly"...we're humans, which falls under the "anything" category. Our bodies are 98*F. If the wind removes that heat from your body more quickly, you will get frostbite or hypothermia quicker, period. This is dangerous to the whole surviving thing, and so definitely does mean something. It should not be ignored. Its warmed up to 65 in my apartment, thank god.
That's all true. All I was getting at was that it is a relatively new measurement (50 years?) compared to air temperature, from which everything is based. They even changed the WC formula some years ago. There is no formula for measuring air temperature, no guessing, it is what it is, and is what it was a hundred years ago. Record low temperatures from various places around the planet are air temps. Yes, they may include WC, but it is secondary.
