Differences Between the new and old systems

Wind speed is now calculated for 5 feet off the ground. Wind speed was previously based on observations at 33 feet.
The calm wind threshold was lowered to 3mph.
A consistent standard for skin tissue resistance is now in use.
Measurements are based on how wind affects the human face, typically the most exposed portion of the body.
The table incorporates the theory that heat is lost from the body depending on its surroundings
The sun's impact is not factored into the wind chill temperature formula.
