The outdoor weather forecast says it's 29 degrees, and the air conditioner at home is 29 degrees, but it's colder indoors than outdoors. Why?

In addition to temperature, the human body's feeling of heat is also related to air humidity, air pressure, airflow and other factors. Because air conditioning refrigeration has certain dehumidification function, indoor air is relatively dry, sweat is easy to volatilize, and human body feels cooler at the same temperature.

Due to the lack of indoor air circulation, it is necessary to open some gaps to increase air circulation, just like the high temperature of 37 degrees. It will be cool if you fan the electric fan slightly. The heat in the pores of the body is taken away by moving air.

Extended data:

The human body's perception of hot and cold does not depend entirely on the temperature, but the indoor airflow, humidity and number of people will change the somatosensory temperature. So when it is cold, even if the air conditioner is adjusted to 29℃, it will take some time to feel warm.

Adjust the air conditioning temperature according to the surrounding environment. The higher it is, the warmer it is, and the higher the air conditioning temperature, the greater the power consumption. In fact, it is easier to improve the somatosensory temperature by adjusting the air volume. Because after the air volume increases, the flow of hot air will soon make people feel warm.
