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.


Why do you feel less chilly if you dry yourself off inside the shower stall after taking a shower?

You feel less chilly drying off inside the shower stall because the humidity and residual warmth from the hot water help maintain a warmer microenvironment. The higher humidity reduces the cooling effect of evaporation on your skin, making you feel more comfortable. Additionally, the enclosed space retains heat better than a cooler, drier bathroom, further minimizing the sensation of chill.


Is 66 F hot?

Whether 66°F is considered hot depends on personal preference and context. For many people, 66°F is a mild and comfortable temperature, often seen as pleasant for outdoor activities. However, in warmer climates or during summer, it might feel cooler, while in colder regions, it could feel relatively warm. Overall, it generally falls into the category of moderate temperatures.


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.

Why are basements cool in summer and hot in winter?

Basements are usually cooler in the summer because they are underground, benefiting from the insulating properties of the surrounding earth. In winter, however, basements can feel warmer as they are typically heated by the warmer air rising from the rest of the house and by any heating systems located in the basement. The lack of direct sunlight in basements also contributes to their cooler temperatures in the summer.


Why do your feet feel cooler not hotter when you put them in a swimming pool?

To tell you the truth, if you think about, the clothes you wear are sticking to your skin making you feel hot. When you take your clothes off, it already makes you feel way cooler. Also, since the pool is usually cool/cold, that just makes you feel cooler on a hot summer's day.

Why might the ground floor feel cooler than the top floor of a building?

The ground floor may feel cooler than the top floor due to heat rising through convection, where warm air accumulates at higher levels. Additionally, the ground floor may receive less direct sunlight or heat gain from the roof, leading to a cooler ambient temperature. Insufficient insulation or air circulation in the top floor could also contribute to it feeling warmer.


Does your skin feel cooler as sweat evaporates?

Why do you feel warm in direct sunlight but in the shade you feel cooler?

In direct sunlight, you feel warm because the sun's rays heat up your skin. In the shade, you feel cooler because you are not directly exposed to the sun's rays, so there is less heat reaching your skin.


Is your body warmer or cooler than the spoons?

Your body is generally warmer than the spoons. The average human body temperature is around 98.6°F (37°C), while spoons, being made of metal, typically take on the ambient temperature of their surroundings, which is usually cooler than body temperature. Thus, when you touch a spoon, it will feel cooler to your skin.


Why does the air from a fan's jet stream feel cooler than the surrounding environmental temperature?

The moving air stream from a fan increases the rate of evaporation on the skin, which can make it feel cooler. The air movement also helps to dissipate body heat, making it feel cooler compared to still air.


Do bath salts make the water feel cooler Seemed like my bath wasn't very hot when I used them.?

Bath salts do not make the water feel cooler, but they are designed to soften the water. This will result a less "harsh" feeling on your skin which may have felt cooler and softer to the touch.
