+|Add to cumulus.ini [Station] section to disable 'calculate [[Wind chill]] only if temperature less than 10&#176;C rule'.
-*0 = Disabled (default)
+*0 = Disabled, Cumulus will use wind speed to determine the wind chill ignoring the temperature criterion
-*1 = Enabled, this line needs to be added in the [Station] section of the Cumulus.ini
+*1 = Enabled (default), Cumulus will use both temperature and wind speed criterions to determine if wind chill applies.
-Note that ''CalculatedWC=1'' is needed for this setting to have any effect (if your station is a type that supplies wind chill itself); i.e. you need to set Cumulus (see directly above) to calculate the wind chill if it is to apply a rule based on temperature.
+Note if your station is a type that supplies wind chill to Cumulus; that ''CalculatedWC=1'' is needed for this setting to have any effect [i.e. you need to set Cumulus (see parameter directly above) to calculate the wind chill as this setting cannot change how your weather station calculates wind chill].
