It's Mild Outside And Yet I'm Cold

I have found that if it is cold for a while and the house gets cold, that even when it warms up outside, the cold just seeps out of the walls and penetrates my bones. It often happens in early spring for me. I find that I am better off opening doors and windows to let some warmth in. I hope your fingers thaw out soon. Someone else suggested the humidity and that is also a factor.

I agree with Maezee that it very well could be an issue of humidity. I've known days with 50ish temps that felt chilly to me, while there have been days with 20ish temps that were (in my view) fit for wearing a miniskirt and leggings. Perhaps, you need to go on a nice cruise to a warmer climate for a bit?

Strange... I've been feeling the same way and I'm halfway around the world from you. I don't know if the humidity has been higher or if it's something else. I have even gone so far as to turn up the heater, but it doesn't work until I have it really up and I can't afford that. I was reading about Vitamin D deficiency the other day and the way the article was written, a deficiency of either B vitamins or vitamin D (I couldn't tell which one because of the way it was written) could cause a person to feel cold. Just a thought. Meantime, I cover up with a blanket any time I can and wear extra layers of clothes. I'm still cold, though. My nose is even cold.

Maybe the humidity levels have gone up or down or done something. My co-worker mentioned it to me as well this week, that it feels colder even though we know the temperature is warmer. I don't really understand science and I'm not a meterologist, but I hazard to guess that there are a lot of factors (besides just temperature) that decides how cold it's gonna be.

That happens here as well. I notice that because when it is freezing outside and then the temperature warms up, its the house that retains the cold. And also when it's damp outside.

It just so happened that here the maximum temperature is also 12 ? today.It seems to be getting marmer and warmer,but I still wear winter clothes in case I should catch a cold,as the weather is now hot now cold recently.There is a lot of wind there,maybe this is why you feel cold.

Flap your wings... er, arms... about and get your blood circulating. You'll warm up despite the dampness.

How does Hawaii sound?

It's the same here. Last week was also just above freezing here. My garage door broke last week, so I had to park the car outside, and it took me a good 10 minutes to de-frost the windshield (so I was late for work). This week is around 7 degrees, but it feels much colder than last week. I'm wearing a sweater for work today, while I didn't have to last week.

Hi there Janey1966, That was a good temperature. How I wish that I can again experience another cold weather like that. As our weather here in Asia is not as cold as that. That is why, we keep on using 2 electric fans whenever we sleep. And even take a bath twice day because of the hot weather here. How I wonder when that type of cold weather be experience in our end here.

Thanks for sharing. Hope you are fine now, i live in india the climate is hot, the lowest temp in winter is 15C only, it is 27C now, but for last 5 days it is cooler due to the recent hailstorm.

Thanks for sharing, seems there is some global change, I am from India, here it rained suddenly last evening, though rainy season is gone, we had warm weather, now i am in Hyderabad south India with hubby, he and me are coughing, running nose and sore throat..

Same problem I have. It was about -10 now it's about 8-9 degrees and I am shivering non stop, even in bed :-( Can't stay warm probably I used all my energy in the past weeks while it was freezing cold?
