whilst wearing appropriate clothing. These conditions are a temperature below
91.4

°F skin surface temperature.
The higher the wind speed is and the lower the actual temperature, the more
noticeable is the wind chill effect.
The "perceived temperature" is roughly comparable to the so-called felt tempera-

fection from the clouds, the light wavelength, etc.
