Mauna Kea weather

11:55PM the website says .5 C (32*F) & 76 mph winds, that equals a wind chill of 11 degrees F. Brrrr. Road is closed due to high winds, but only an insane person (excluding scientists) would want to go from a beachy 75*F to a 11*F wind chill. Holy Cow!

It's just a light breeze and a tad chilly. Nothing to worry about at all!

By the way, I think the current conditions at UKIRT show a wind chill of approx -5 degrees F, so even colder than you mention (this is using the new calculation, the old one gives -20 degrees believe it or not). I've actually been up there in worse conditions but don't want to do it again...
