What affects how we perceive temperature?

231 views

Sometimes I can be outside in shorts in 40-50°F weather and feel great and other times I am shivering in the mid 60’s.

Other than humidity, are there some internal things that affect how we feel at different temps such as blood sugar or hormones or the like?

u/Shawnaldo7575 covered the external physics part. There is also your body temperature which can change your perception. For instance if you are sick and running a fever vs not, you will perceive the same temp differently. All of a sudden in your home at the same temp, same humidity, you got the Flu running a 101.5 temp and you feel chilled.
