Why does wind feel colder when I’m wet?
In: 1
Water evaporates and it requires energy, that energy is heat taken for you and you get cooler. This is why we sweat to cool down.
The rate water evaporates depend on the moisture of the air around you. When water evaporates it becomes moisture in the air and the rate of evaporation drops. If the moist air is replaced by drier air like by wind the evaporation rate is higher compared with no wind.
