Wind chill? (Read 50 times)

ThumperPaul Serious Thumper Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 1945 Houston, Texas Gender:	Wind chill? 12/10/24 at 08:23:13 If you ride 21mph with 21mph wind gusts, does it negate the wind chill factor? Does the wind chill factor double when you ride into the wind? I’ll be back later and I’ll let y’all know.

LOL. It's official. It's colder going INTO the wind. But 21mpg gusts are no fun, period. Dang crosswinds can send you off track 2-3 feet just when you find your favorite line!

Test concluded! Waiting now for this cold wet front to pass in about a week.

Reply #6 - 12/10/24 at 20:01:51 Wind chill is increases with wind velocity only up to about 40 mph. So, if its cold out, 60 (or 80) mph will not feel any colder than 40 mph. Go ahead and lay into that throttle.

That chart is good for people in like Norway or Siberia with the warmest temperature on the chart being 40°F. It’s the frost bite calculator.

I’ve seen similar charts that include more reasonable temperatures (like 55°-60°). Nifty formula they show below the chart if you like to build spreadsheets using decimal exponential math. I can’t do that in my head.

Cold, Breezy, and Damp is a big “Heck No”! That would be Houston in February. You have to pick your riding days carefully then.

I don't think they would understand it in Norway, and I'm doubtful about Siberia. I live in Canada and I don't understand it either, it makes no sense
