Why does the same temperature on your living room thermometer feel differently depending on the seasons outside? For example, 73 degrees Fahrenheit feels cold in the winter time but it feels great in the summer?
In: Physics
Your body kinda gets used to a certain temperature each season.
If you go swimming, you’d probably feel the water colder at first and after some time you will think it’s not as cold as before.
Happens the same with seasons, if the weather outside is colder than 73, you’ll feel it’s warmer when you enter because you are used to it. If it’s hotter outside, you’ll feel it’s colder.
We are actually surprisingly good at detecting temperature changes.
