I would think any temperature under our natural body temp would feel cold. To take it further, I live in the north, so 75 can start feeling hot to me, yet people in the south might consider that chilly. We both have the same body temp so how does that work?
In: Biology
“Feeling temperature” is really “feeling how fast our skin changes temperature, compared to what we are used to”.
Temperature changes faster the bigger the difference between the two.
Further, our bodies are constantly making heat. If it doesn’t have anywhere to go, it builds up and we overheat. It’s why a room at body temperature is ‘too warm’.
And if somebody is used to a low temperature change (because they are used to a small temperature difference, living in a warmer climate) then they will be more affected.
