Why does water from a shower the same temperature as the room feel colder?
In: Physics
Because when your skin is wet, even if the water is the same temperature as the room, evaporation is taking place, which causes heat to dissipate from the surface of your skin, thus making you feel colder.
It’s the same principle for how sweat cools you off. Your sweat is the same temperature as your body, and yet it makes you feel cooler.
