In WA, It’s Not “Windchill” Anymore: Here’s The New Name

Have you felt the cooler fall weather in the past few days? I had to find my jacket in odd places around the house. Soon, the cooler autumn temps will dip into the 30s and 20s. Add some wind out of the north, and we’ll feel the wind chill.

Have you noticed? The Weather service no longer calls it Windchill.  

For decades, “wind chill” describes how our bodies feel when the wind and cold temperatures mix. 

Look at the weather app on your phone. You’ll no longer see wind in the cooler months of the year described as “wind chill” but rather the new modern phrase: “feels like.”
