How come we can we have an idea of how cold or warm it “looks” outside?
In: 1
basically, we are using past experience as a guide. We are comparing the visual evidence we have with our knowledge of what it was like last time it looked like that. So, strong shadows and bright colours imply lots of sunlight and thus warmth, while muted shadows, a pale and faded colour spectrum, etc all point to cloud cover, less sun and a “cooler” weather system.
also, the climate indoors is still affected by the outside temperature, despite climate control. so we have additional clues form our internal environment (for example the AC being on, or condensation on the windows)

Similarly to how we know, without additional context, if we’re looking at a sunset or a sunrise.
Our brain is pretty good at catching little hints and nuances. Whether it’s a certain shade, or the tiny changes in light refraction due to the heat, our experience of these visual inputs are combined with our sensory memories of the thousands of times we felt it directly when we were outside.
