When you step out a shower in a warm bathroom why do you shiver?

First, it's unlikely that the bathroom is warmer than the shower.
Even if it was, the hot water flowing in the shower can provide a lot of heat to your skin. The water can be quite a bit warmer than the surrounding air, and the heat transfer capacity of a thin film of flowing water is very high.
Once you turn the water off and step out of the shower there is strong evaporative cooling of the water on your skin. It's trying to come to equilibrium with its new surroundings, which is almost certainly much lower than a comfortable skin temperature.
The temperature approached is the wet bulb temperature, which is somewhere between the dry bulb and the dew point.

Why when you step out the shower and it warm you shiver?
i think because you were in a warm shower and you are not used to how warm it is when you step out of the shower
Why can you step out of a warm shower into a warm bathroom and begin to shiver?
well because if you shower with hot or warm water then ofcorse you get out and your bathroom was not cold.It just feels like it's winter when you get out.You put on the hot water and when you get out you shiver since the bathroom is not as hot as the hot water that you put on.thats why.

Why you can step out of the shower into a warm bath - room and begin to shiver?
Well when you are in a shower, you gotta think, you are having a constant body temperature of the water! But when you get out of the shower into a warm bathroom, you begin to shiver because even though the bathroom is warm, its a lower temperature than what your shower water was just at, which causes your temperature to somwhat drop...make sense? Water is evaporating from the body. Heat is converted into the energy needed for the process of evaporation.
Why do you feel after taking a bath?
When we come out of water, our body is covered with water droplets. As the water droplets evaporate, heat is removed from our body as we know that evaporation causes coling thus We fell cold.....
Is it normal for steam to come out when you are using the bathroom?
Yes, it is the warm water vapour from the bath or shower meeting the cooler air of the bathroom.
Why do we see drops of water on our bathroom mirrors when we take a hot shower?
The warm, moist air coming from the shower will condense to water droplets on contact with a cool mirror or bathroom window.
Why do mirrors and windows appear foggy after you take a warm shower during the winter?
it is because when you take a warm or hot shower, then water that you are using condense it to the air & it covers the mirror of your bathroom.
Why does warm damp air condense?
When it comes into contact with something cold (likes tiles in your bathroom when you shower) the vapour condenses into water.
When you shiver do muscles contract to warm you?
True, :)
Where in the bathroom would be a good location for a permanently installed ceiling heat lamp?
I installed mine just out the shower... where I dry off... its warm
If the bathroom shower water is not usually warm but all other faucets are fine what is wrong with this shower?
Shower valve is bad.ANS 2 - OR possibly the orifice in the shower valve is plugged with sediment or rust, -A very common problem. Can be cleaned out quite easily in most cases.
