The wind chill graph looks odd as soon as temp goes over 10 C, I understand why of course but thought others may appreciate seeing the effect. ;)

I guess some things just weren't meant to be be plotted. What the graph should really do, I suppose, is have breaks in it, i.e. not have those vertical lines where it suddenly returns back to the temperature line. But that's tricky and I'm not even sure the chart component allows it.

It is interesting that 10 C is the cut-off point for wind chill, but I guess you have to draw the line at some point (pun is intentional :lol: ). The wind has a cooling effect at whatever ambient temperature and that’s the benefit of plotting the apparent temperature. I think I will turn off the wind chill on the graph as it does tend to look a tad busy at times.
