Question

– Why do small temperature changes feel so drastic indoors compared to outdoors?

In: Physics

Answer 1

When you lower the AC in your house say 3F, you are lowering the air temperature AND the dew point (humidity) in the house. When the outside air temperature drops 3F, the dew point does not change so the relative humidity rises.

There are plenty of other factors mentioned elsewhere in the thread.
