On blustery days, the temperature outdoors often feels colder than it actually is. This is because wind blows away the layer of insulating warmth generated by our bodies, and the faster the wind, the quicker the heat is removed.
Unlike humans and animals, plants generally don’t create their own heat (excluding the unusual thermogenic plants). This means that wind chill, per se, doesn’t affect them. However, the wind can still have its disadvantages for our leafy friends, no matter whether it’s cold or hot.
