People are quite affected by the wind. That's because we

As for warm blooded critters, wind causes the colder air to be blown
through the hair/clothing cools the skin faster than if the temp was
the same and there was no wind. This effect has been known as wind
chill. Wind chill is an estimate of the temperature in no wind
conditions that would fee

I understand windchill; I've had a BUNCH of it, even in Canada AND Greenland
at -55F ambient/-90F windchill.

On a 0° day, my thermometer read
The vehicle will lose heat more quickly on a windy day, on the same
principal that your radiator works better when the fan is blowing air
through it.
The vehicle will never become colder than the actual air temperature,
regardless of wind. But if there is wind it will cool faster.
So if you park

And if you dinna think that the wind has any effect on a vehicle, park it in
the open somewhere on a cold day and
just see how much stiffer everything see
They've even talked about dropping the whole wind chill thing here, but I
think it gives bragging rights. If someone says it's cold where they are,
we can always throw in the "wind chill". Makes us seem a bit tougher. lol.
The wind can blow as hard as it likes, it doesn't make the temp any cold
