Why is the somatosensory temperature inconsistent with the actual temperature?

The so-called "perceived temperature" is quite different from the actual temperature. Somatosensory temperature is simply the temperature that people feel subjectively. Everyone's heat resistance and somatosensory temperature are different.

According to the standard of American heat index, at the same temperature, the greater the relative humidity, the more obvious the increase of somatosensory temperature. For example, when the temperature is 30℃ and the relative humidity is only 50%, the somatosensory temperature reaches 31.1℃; When the relative humidity reaches 90%, the somatosensory temperature will soar to 40.6℃, which is 10.6℃ higher than the meteorological temperature.

In addition, people's objective environment and physical conditions are different, and the temperature they feel will be different.

No matter in the park or on the cement road, in the ventilated or closed environment, people feel different about the temperature; Wearing white clothes or black clothes, in the sun, the temperature will feel different; People's activities and moods will also affect the somatosensory temperature.

It can be seen that the somatosensory temperature is not consistent with the actual temperature sense.

Factors affecting somatosensory temperature:

Somatosensory temperature is affected by wind, humidity, sunshine and clothes color. If the somatosensory temperature is higher than the air temperature, it shows that all the above factors have played a role in keeping warm, and vice versa.

The temperature in the weather forecast only represents the air temperature, and cannot fully express the human body's feelings about the environment, but the temperature can be used as a parameter of the human body's feelings about the temperature, which is the difference between the air temperature and the somatosensory temperature.

Under the same temperature conditions, people will have different cold and warm feelings because of different air humidity, wind speed, dress color, sunshine and even mood.

For example, when the temperature is 30℃, the air relative humidity is about 40%-50%, and the average wind speed is above 3m/s, people will not feel very hot. However, under the same temperature conditions, if the relative humidity increases above 80% and the wind speed is very low, people will feel sultry and uncomfortable, and even the weak will suffer from heatstroke.
