Digital Thermometer display the current air temperature and the wind chill based on your GPS position.
The Wind chill is the apparent temperature felt on exposed skin due to wind. The degree of this phenomenon depends on both air temperature and wind speed. The wind chill temperature (often popularly called the wind chill factor) is always lower than the air temperature.
The body loses heat largely by evaporative cooling and convection The rate of heat loss by a surface depends on the wind speed above that surface: the faster the wind speed, the more readily the surface cools. For inanimate objects, the effect of wind chill is to reduce any warmer objects to the ambient temperature more quickly. For most biological organisms, the physiological response is to maintain surface temperature in an acceptable range so as to avoid adverse effects. Thus, the attempt to maintain a given surface temperature in an environment of faster heat loss results in both the perception of lower temperatures and an actual greater heat loss increasing the risk to adverse effects such as frostbite and death.
The temperature is displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Features:
- Display the temperature (air temp and wind chill)
- Display the wind speed
- Display the humidity
- Display the pressure
The application will works on:

Latest reviews of Wind Chill Factor app for iPhone and iPad
This App needs the present position otherwise it is not functioning. So if you are abroad without an internet connection (high roaming costs) you are not able to insert temperature and wind manually. The discription which said it is using only GPS is WRONG. Even when you disable the present position you will get only a blank screen. I lost 0,79€ for a bad App.
This app keeps crashing and will not let me switch from celsius to fahrenheit. It says to switch it in settings but it doesnt show up in your settings when its installed. Ive gotten much better apps since so I will be deleteing it from my phone.
Hangs up switching from Fahrenheit to celsius. Also formula doesnt work correctly since the Wind Chill Factor is warmer than the actual winter temperature. Has a misspelled word on the surface.
I dont like this one. It will not change or from Celsius to Fahrenheit. I prefer Fahrenheit settings.
