In any case, the Wind Chill was developed in Canada (surprise, sursprise) and is virtually unknown outside of North America. If you think about it, it’s a strange concept, effectively trying to develop a formula to scientifically define how cold a human “feels.” No wonder the rest of the world thinks we’re ice-bound when we advertise temperatures of -50.

Interestingly, the humidex index was also invented in Canada. We sure love our virtual temperatures.

Anyway, the point is, that anything that raises the assumed temperature cannot be a “Chill.” If they had labeled the column “Apparent Temperature” that would be fine, but one would still assume that to be based on the humidity index.

One of the things that makes the Karachi heat bearable is that the evenings are generally very pleasant, with breezes coming in over the ocean.
Although I have experienced “hot” winds in Karachi that come from the inland deserts, they still generally have a cooling effect as far as persperation evaporation goes. And even ole Wikipidia states that “the wind chill temperature is always lower than the air temperature, because any wind increases the rate at which moisture evaporates from the skin and carries heat away from the body.”

And now that I’ve paid you much more attention than you are due, as I’m sure was your intention, please ensure that you have plenty of beer being “chilled” for my return.

When has wind ever made it hotter in Boston?

If someone knows, please don’t tell me, it was supposed to be rhetorical …
