Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5 (or 1.8) and add 32. For example, 100°C = (100 x 1.8) + 32 = 212°F. A quick approximation: double and add 30.

What is absolute zero?

Absolute zero is 0 Kelvin (-273.15°C or -459.67°F). It is the theoretical lowest temperature where all molecular motion stops. It has been closely approached but never fully reached in laboratory settings.

What formula does this calculator use?

The 2001 NWS wind chill formula: WC = 35.74 + 0.6215T - 35.75·V^0.16 + 0.4275·T·V^0.16, where T is air temperature in Fahrenheit and V is wind speed in miles per hour.

Why does the calculator sometimes just show the air temperature?

The formula is only valid at or below 50°F with wind above 3 mph. Outside that range, the National Weather Service does not define a wind chill, so this calculator reports the plain air temperature with a note instead of extrapolating.
