RE: Why does water feel colder than air at the same temperature?
Thanks for the post, very educative and interesting. But the amazing thing about the early morning cold especially during the harmattan is that the moment the water touches your body, you will not feel the cold again and you could barely stay on without putting on any clothing. I remembered my mum used to tell me then that the best way to deal with cold or harmattan is to bath with cold water.Any explanation for this?
I think it's more biological than any other thing. It is just the body adjusting to the new temperature, much the same way most people living in the tropics can withstand higher temperatures while their contemporaries in the temperate regions can withstand more lower temperatures.
