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.
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 .
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.
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.
I feel your pain. How did that feel? Can you feel the love?
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.
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.
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.
The wind can make it feel cooler - wind chill.
The wind can make it feel cooler - wind chill.
Using a fan can make you feel about 3-4 degrees cooler.
There is no concrete definition for a modern building, but it is one which has been built recently usually designed with clean lines, a minimalist feel and unusual angles.
well it depends
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.
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.
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.
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.
Making ourselves warmer/cooler depending on how we feel.
