If you are using KDE, KWeather applet does display the wind chill. There should also be a way to make LiquidWeather display it, but I don't know how.Thanks! I did find that and it works. Though a bit disappointing that it does not allow me to display windchill (as opposed to the what I consider useless dewpoint).
..And if you're using GNOME, there's the Weather Report applet that's part of the panel. It uses Weather Channel data based on most (all??) of their reporting stations. For temperatures, it includes a "Feels Like" measurement, which I think is a combination of wind chill and heat index. As a private pilot, this doesn't replace a complete weather briefing for me by any stretch, but since the reporting stations include most of the airports I routinely fly to and from and it has 2-click access to a local radar map, it's a nice "quick look" applet.
Cheers,
