Wind Chill Temperature is officially defined for temperatures at or below 10 °C (50 °F) and wind speeds above 4.8 kilometres per hour (3.0 mph).
*For lower wind speeds, Cumulus will report a wind chill temperature that will be the same as reported for temperature.
*By default, for higher temperatures, Cumulus will report a wind chill temperature that will be the same as reported for temperature. Cumulus can make a wind chill calculation for temperatures above 10°C, so if you have asked Cumulus to calculate wind chill and don't wish it to comply with the ten degree limit, edit your [[cumulus.ini]] and add to the [[Cumulus.
More information on Wind Chill [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_chill#North_American_and_United_Kingdom_wind_chill_index here in Wikipedia]. Cumulus uses the 'new North American' formula, as described on that page. For a discussion on the usefullness of wind chill in Canada see [https://www.aweathermoment.com/wind-chill here].
