Why is a hot bath or shower so comfortable and warm but weather at the same temperature would be (almost literally) hell?
In: Biology
A part of it is psychological, because you can exit the warm shower any time you want. Whereas if you are outside digging a trench in 95F summer heat to pay the bills you don’t have a choice. On the other hand, remember the times you were warm outside and enjoyed it? Going to the beach, the park, etc. Psychology has a huge factor in this.
Stranded in a hot desert? Torture!
Lying on a hot beach? Heaven.
But to be clear: psychology doesn’t account for all of it, but it is definitely part of it.
