29. Wind Chill Index Calculator

Write a Python program to calculate the wind chill index.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import math
v = float(input("Input wind speed in kilometers/hour: "))
t = float(input("Input air temperature in degrees Celsius: "))
wci = 13.12 + 0.6215*t -  11.37*math.pow(v, 0.16) + 0.3965*t*math.pow(v, 0.16)
print("The wind chill index is", int(round(wci, 0)))

Sample Output:

Input wind speed in kilometers/hour: 120                                                                      
Input air temperature in degrees Celsius: 35                                                                  
The wind chill index is 40

• Write a Python program to calculate the wind chill index using the provided wind speed and air temperature, and print the result rounded to the nearest integer.
• Write a Python function that takes wind speed and temperature as input, computes the wind chill, and returns the value along with a descriptive message.
• Write a Python script to compare the wind chill index for two different sets of conditions and print which one is lower.
• Write a Python program to prompt the user for wind speed and temperature, compute the wind chill index, and then display a recommendation based on the result.
