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.

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.

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?
