Clothing, Wet-cold and Exposure Duration
Wet clothing and the duration of a person's exposure to wind also affect the felt air temperature. The wind chill formulae do not take account of the variation of clothing worn and how wet or dry a person is. The typical assumption is that a person will be properly dressed and dry. Models generally also assume that thermodynamic equilibrium exists, something that might not be the case if a person quickly run outdoors and back indoors, for example.

Famous quotes containing the word duration:
“What matters it that man should have a little more knowledge of the universe? If he has it, he gets little higher. Is he not always infinitely removed from the end, and is not the duration of our life equally removed from eternity, even if it lasts ten years longer?”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
