The reason why you feel colder when the wind blows is because it carries temperatures from the north the south east and west. So if the wind carries over some coldness from the south or north pole that's most likely why.

Perspiration, and its evaporation, removes body heat. Normally, this proceeds without our notice but when its rate is increased suddenly, we feel cooler. Air moving across our skin increases the rate of this evaporation. This rate increases with increased wind-speed, and is experienced as a change in ambient temperature.

Although, the cause is different, this is the same feeling that is generated when a cold front suddenly moves in, or when you move from an uncontrolled to an air conditioned area, with the accompanying drop in temperature.

It feels cold when you are wet and the wind blows because your pores open. When your skin is wet right after taking a bath or shower, your skin is in perfect condition to start respiration, which can also take place in small amounts in your skin as well as excretion.

Your body uses lots of energy to try and get the water to evaporate. As a result you feel cold. Hope this helped

Lots of different air particles are taking the warm ones that are warm from your body heat and replaced with freshly cold ones.

Is a molecule of water 'wet' like a puddle is wet?

No. the puddle itself is not wet. A puddle of water is considered wet because when you put something in it (your shoe, your newspaper, your mcmuffin) it comes out wet. a molecule of water is too small to moisten anything large enough so that we can have a wet/dry comparison.


Does girl feel any thing if her vagina is rubbed during sleep?

It depends, there is no definite answer. First it depends on how long she has been asleep. If she just went to sleep, the most likely she will and you will just annoy her. If she has been asleep for a long time and its about time she will wake up, then she probably will. Its best not to bother her while she is tired (if she had a long/bad day). However sometimes she wont feel it at all, like in the middle of deep sleep. Now if she does feel it, 1 of 2 things will happen; she will either push your hand away and go back to sleep (she didn't really wake up), or she will like it and let you go further. If she's not getting wet, she probably doesn't feel it. If she is getting wet, prepare for a little fun. =]

Why are you suddeNly cold when you step out the poll and the wind blows?

When the wind blows past any wet surface it begins to dry it by a process called "evaporation", but evaporation requires heat for it to succeed. If your skin is the wet surface this heat will be taken from your skin, and so you will feel cold and perhaps begin to shiver. Shivering is a mainly muscular action which generates heat.


How can you determine wind direction by wetting your finger and hold it up into the air?

When you wet your finger and hold it in the air you can determine wind direction, if there is in fact wind, because the wind blows against your finger and chills the fluids on your finger. Therefore, whatever part of you finger is cold, in the direction the wind is coming from.

If two people are standing together one is wet one is dry which one will feel the cold the most and why?

The dry person will feel the cold more because the wet person standing next to them will try and get warm until the water evaporates onto the next person but by the time it has reached the dry person it would have been cold. so the dry person would feel the cold more! I think, the wet person will feel the cold more because water needs energy to evaporate and this energy is taken form the immediate surroundings ie the wet person, making the wet person feel cold. If you wet your finger and hold it up in the air it will feel cold because the heat to evaporate the water is coming from your finger.


Can you feel wet when underwater?

Being underwater does not feel the same as being wet when exposed to the air, because when you are underwater the water on your skin is not evaporating, and doesn't make you feel cold. Nonetheless, a person underwater is wet, even though he or she won't really feel wet.


Why does wind and rain together make you very cold very quickly?
