Wind chill is calculated using a formula that takes into account the air temperature (T) and wind speed (V), with the most commonly used formula being: Wind Chill (in Fahrenheit) = 35.74 + 0.6215T - 35.75(V^0.16) + 0.4275T(V^0.16), where T is the air temperature in Fahrenheit and V is the wind speed in miles per hour; this formula is used by the National Weather Service and is only applicable for temperatures at or below 50°F and wind speeds above 3 mph. Hm-mm? How does one calculate a value of V^0.16?  Is it V x (V x 0.16), or is it V x 0.16, or is it ... ... ...?
zorroloco 06-Dec-24, 15:29	One It means its the 1/.16th root of V. Plug it into a calculator. If v=20, 20^.16 =~1.61497
mo-oneandmore 06-Dec-24, 19:13	Zero I believe "^" means power, doesn't it Zorro? And that's 0.16 power oF V, not 1/16 power which =0.0625.
zorroloco 06-Dec-24, 19:42	One You’re correct. But I said 1/.16 root. It’s the inverse of an exponent. So that, for example: X^1/4 = the 4th root of x Or V^.16 = the 1/.16 th root of V Capiche?
jonheck 07-Dec-24, 02:16	🤔 How would one factor in the effect of wearing a wind breaker?
zorroloco 07-Dec-24, 05:40	One You’d feel less cold 😉

As you are required to now know as a member of Gameknot: There are eight Mos in Gameknot. Mo Zero: You Mo One: Me Mo Two: Shiva Mo Three: Apatzer Mo Nine: Stahl Miss Mo: Brig MoJo: Jon Mo E=MC^2: Honorary And I must have missed the "dot" (.) in your formula that indeed performs an inverse of the exponent.

They felt about the same, with Sunday perhaps feeling a bit nastier. Whats the formula for the effect of humidity on the “feels like” temp. In Sacramento they were fond of reminding that, “yeah but it’s dry heat”, as in: not nearly so bad as high humidity at today's Sacto high of 95F. Later, living in swamp like Northern Va/ DC vicinity, the proof of that point was clearly demonstrated.
