Wind chill factor and orchids

[ArronOB]

Early this morning the temperature was described as being 11.7 degrees Celsius, “but feels like 7.5 degrees”.

I assume the difference of 4 degrees is due to wind chill factor, as it quite windy here today.

Something I’ve always wondered about. Does windchill factor affect things like plants, or is it only relevant to endothermic things like mammals?

Thinking it through, without the benefits of a scientific background, I’m thinking it could only affect something with internal heat, which could be lost to the ambient in greater or lesser quantities due to environmental factors like wind.

Obviously this is relevant to orchids growing outdoors, or in my case in shadehouses not screened from the wind.

Can anyone with a better grasp of physics clarify this please.

Cheers
