If the air is moving faster that means it has higher energy and is hotter, right? If it hits my skin with a higher velocity it is transferring more energy than if it were moving slower. Both of these reasons suggest faster winds should feel hotter but they don’t, the stronger the breeze the cooler it feels. Why?
In: Physics
You’re shedding body heat faster as the wind speed increases, thus making you feel cooler. That’s why a hot wind can still feel cool because it’s blowing that heat off of our bodies when we’re hot.
