Wind chill, as applied to humans, has to do with drawing heat from the skin faster than the body can re-supply. Any evaporation would exacerbate the problem. ...Jim Thompson

The end result is: the body temperature = the wind temperature.

So in the hot climate is the wind heating. S*

No. Wind chill *factor* is the effective cooling of exposed skin includes conduction as well as evaporation and radiation. Conduction is a far bigger effect at cold temperatures than evaporation (very little surface moisture). Wind speed will cool a warm surface faster (by breaking up the boundary layer) but it won't cool it below the ambient temperature. ...not that it matters when you're dead.
