Use a comma if the adjectives are equally important and give similar kinds of information.
Example: It was a cold, windy morning.
Don’t use a comma if the adjectives are not equally important or give different kinds of information.
Example: He was a clever young man.
Note:
To check if adjectives give similar kinds of information or not, put and between the adjectives. (It was a cold and windy morning.)
If adjectives give different kinds of information, the and between the adjectives doesn't sound right. (He was a clever and young man.)

After a couple of cups of caffeine, I find myself agreeing with oldr's post herein. It is an efficient rule in all cases and has been proven by science many more than eight times as any atheist would surely deign to concur, even with a theist.
