Sounds like you are going to be creating a 'new' value rather than heat index - the formula for which is pretty well defined as being based on temperature and humidity whilst windchill does indeed use windspeed and temperature. However, using windgust could be problematic unless you have the instantaneous temperature to go with the windspeed. Humidex used dewpoint rather than humidity - but also does not use windspeed. I do believe though that our Australian users have implemented the calculation of apparent temperature - which does indeed use temp, humidity and windspeed. Try and google for apparent temp within weewx user grouip.
