Why do basements usually feel cooler than the rest of the building?

Usually there is no heat in the attic because it is left open for ventilation purposes. Outside air has to be allowed to circulate so that humidity does not have a chance to build up on the underside of the roof.

Why do my clothes always feel cold and damp even after drying?
Ok, you say you sleep with the windows open. If you live in an area like in a coastal zone the dampness is coming in through the window. Close the window and see if that changes the factors. If it doesn't look at the other environmental factors. You don't mention if you have a swamp cooler or window cooler or air conditioner. Anything that involves water will create dampness .
What causes something to feel warm of cool against your skin?
With me it is a reaction to accidentally injesting MSG - monosodium glutamate. I feel like it is a 1000 degrees in the house and my husband says my skin is ice cold. It comes with other symptoms like my mouth, nose and eyes getting very dry. It lasts about 10 minutes and then settles down to where I just am shaking inside, and then finally that goes away.
Does a swamp cooler work better in sun or shade?
The Unit being in Sun or Shade will have NO effect on how well a Swamp Cooler performs. Operation of Swamp / Evaporative Cooler effectiveness is determined by Ambient temperature / dew point and relative humidity. They are optimum in Dry / Hot / Low Humid climates such as found in the South West Desert areas of the U.S. The higher the Humidity / Dew Point, the LESS EFFECTIVE a Swamp / Evaporator Cooler will be. They cool by adding moisture to the Air. So the higher the Humidity is, the more the moisture content is in the air already, thus being less effective. Air can only support so much moisture before it starts to condensate. ( You will then start to feel Sticky and less comfortable ) Again, the Unit being in the Sun, verses being in the Shade, WILL NOT change the Coolers effectiveness in operation.

GREAT physics experiment! Wood is an insulator in part because it is less dense, so once your foot feels the cool, it is being insulated from losing more heat. The Tile is dense and acts as a "HEAT SINK" it literally draws the heat out of the foot and stores it in the tile.
