	Cold Temperature is a measure of the heat of a substance. When the forecaster tells you how warm or cold it is going to be outside, he or she is generally referring to the temperature of the air close to the surface of the Earth. But temperature alone will not tell you how cold you'll feel when you get outside-especially if there is a wind blowing!
