Which of the following weather conditions feels warmer?
a.) a temperature of $5 ^{\circ} F$ with a 25 mph wind or a temperature of $10^{\circ} F$ with a 10 mph wind
A temperature of $5 ^{\circ} F$ with a 25 mph wind has a wind-chill temperature of $-17^{\circ} F$ and a temperature of $10^{\circ} F$ with a 10 mph wind has a wind-call temperature of $-4^{\circ} F$. So the weather conditions that feels warmer is the temperature that has a wind-chill temperature of $-4^{\circ} F$.
b.) a temperature of $-5^{\circ} F$ with a 10 mph wind or a temperature of $-15^{\circ} F$ with a 5 mph wind
A temperature of $-5^{\circ} F$ with a 10 mph wind has a wind-cahill temperature of $-22 ^{\circ} F$ and a temperature of $-15^{\circ} F$ with a 5 mph wind has a wind-call temperature of $-28^{\circ} F$. So the weather conditions that feels warmer is the temperature that has a wind-chill temperature of $-22^{\circ} F$.
