No. It’s an abstract term. The moisture in your body is used to extract heat to keep you cool. It has a high specific heat which is why it’s so useful removing heat from your interior. There’s moisture on your skin and the wind will remove heat from that water whether you want it to or not. The sweat evaporates. The lower the humidity the better chance for that sweat to evaporate into dry air. Nature hates a vacuum. So warm goes to cold. Wet goes to dry. Nature likes equilibrium. So the air can be 40 and the wind blowing across your skin makes it feel very cold. Especially if the RH is super low. Like I said, it’s abstract.

So do they measure the wind chill by copying the chemistry/moisture makeup of skin and exposing it to wind then measuring the heat loss or do they just guess?

I want to give a huge shout out to @VolsDoc81TX
When I mentioned my girlfriend was having back trouble and got a really bad MRI report, he reached out privately and we discussed what was going on and how it was affecting her marathon goals.
He provided some resources, recommended treatment options and most all calming reassurance that the results were not as bad her doc initially hinted at.
She has been following many of the exercises VolsDoc recommended along with being diligent in her PT and has let the Tokyo Marathon deferral period pass, meaning she is feeling good enough to press forward towards the challenge.

Can't thank you enough. She was getting some bad advice and your advice changed the course and the mindset.

He's a good dude for sure. Gave me some advice when I was having numbness and back and shoulder pain. Turns out I have a terrible rotator cuff and compression in a couple of places. I'm doing everything I can to avoid surgery. Pain management is my biggest issue. I refuse to take opioids and I work a small rescue farm and work a full time job..... Taking it easy isn't an option for me.

Without his advice I would still be stubbornly taking 6 to 8 goodies powders a day and in terrible pain.

Best of luck to your girlfriend moving forward!

Dumping JP-5 (jet fuel) into a ditch that surrounds a whole Marine Corps camp...and lighting it on fire...is not a good idea. IT DOES KEEP YOU WARM, but...ummm yeah...can catch some other things on fire too...

Who knew the.chow hall tent was set up too close to the ditch.

We did...after the fact.

Oops!
