Wind Chill Temperature Calculator
Build a Wind Chill Temperature Calculator with Arduino — Real Weather Science for Young Makers
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Ever noticed how a breeze makes a hot day feel cooler? That's wind chill—the cooling effect of wind on skin. With this kit, you'll build a handheld Arduino device that measures the actual air temperature using a DHT22 sensor, lets you dial in a simulated wind speed with a rotary encoder, and instantly calculates and displays the wind chill temperature on a crisp OLED screen. It's a practical, hands-on introduction to meteorology, electronics, and data processing that fits into a CBSE science project or after-school STEM activity.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a compact instrument that reads real temperature from the DHT22, captures wind speed input from the rotary encoder (simulating an anemometer), runs a standard wind chill formula inside the Arduino, and shows both the measured temperature and the computed wind chill value on the 0.96-inch OLED display. The finished gadget helps you understand how wind transforms the perceived temperature, making it ideal for science fairs, classroom demonstrations, or just satisfying your curiosity about weather.
What You'll Learn
- Wiring and reading a digital temperature/humidity sensor (DHT22) with Arduino
- Interfacing a rotary encoder to simulate variable wind speed input
- Implementing the mathematical wind chill formula in Arduino code
- Displaying dynamic sensor data on an I2C OLED screen

Who This Kit Is For
Young learners aged 5–15 exploring electronics for the first time, CBSE Class 5–8 students building science exhibition models, ATL Tinkering Lab facilitators who need ready-to-use STEM kits, and parents introducing hands-on weather science at home. Even B.Tech ECE/EEE freshers can use it to quickly prototype sensor integration.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Open the AI companion via the QR code for real-time troubleshooting, or message us on WhatsApp — you’ll have a human guide within minutes.
What is wind chill and how does this kit calculate it?
Wind chill is the cooling sensation caused by wind on exposed skin. The kit reads air temperature from the DHT22, uses the rotary encoder to set a wind speed value, and applies the standard wind chill formula to compute the “feels like” temperature displayed on the OLED.
Do I need any soldering?
No soldering required. All connections are made on a breadboard using the included M-M jumper wires, making the kit safe, reusable, and easy for small hands.
Can I extend this to measure real wind speed?
Absolutely. Once you master the simulation, you can swop the rotary encoder for an actual anemometer sensor (like a wind speed module) by attaching it to the breadboard and tweaking the Arduino code.
Rotary encoder inputs wind speed. DHT22 measures air temperature. OLED shows wind chill value.
