What Wikipedia says

Wind chill is the sensation of cold produced by the wind for a given ambient air temperature on exposed skin as the air motion accelerates the rate of heat transfer from the body to the surrounding atmosphere. The measurement of wind chill is called wind chill index or wind chill factor.
