Definition of Wind Chill
Wind chill is the cooling sensation caused by the combined effects of temperature and wind. It is a feeling, not a real temperature.
What do we consider:
Student safety is the number one priority.
Consider all of the following factors before deciding whether it is safe for children to be outdoors in the cold.
• Are the students dressed in warm clothing, with good protection for their heads, hands and feet?
• How long will the students be outside?
• Will they be standing still or active and generating heat?
• Is the area exposed to the wind? Is it sunny or shaded? (The sun may lessen the effects of the wind chill a little.)
- Reminder to please ensure that you help us by making sure your students are dressed for the weather.
