Organ Pipe Pitch vs. Air Temperature
By Bob Yorburg

Temperature may affect the speed of sound, but temperature and
humidity affect the wood that organ pipes are often made of.
Therefore, it seems to me that a table from real experience may
be more reliable than a simple formula, although the formula will
give you an appropriate length to scale the pipe to.
