Every thermometer in every room reads the same as last week.

Only this week both SWMBO and I feel cold.

Falling humidity.

Skin dries out faster.

My hands go icy the moment the room goes below 21.3-#C

Cold draft around the feet tend to make you feel a lot colder. Try
placing a thermometer on the floor where you may be sitting.

Higher humidity can make you feel colder too. I have been in -25-#C in
Canada and not felt cold as the RH is only in low single figures. When I returned to UK it was around 8-#C, but around 90% RH as it had been
raining, and I I felt a lot colder than I had in Canada.

I should make clear that I was dressed properly for both weather
conditions, so that wasn't the reason for the difference. Maybe it was
the bright sunshine and blue sky in Canada, and the dull grey sky here,
which just made me feel colder!

If the temperature outside has gone down significantly the walls will be
cooler (Deelta T) so the nett IR is now increased.

I'm getting that as well.
I think it is a mental outlook thing.
If you expect it to be warmer (later) outside being a bit cool is not an issue.
Looking out on a grey, wet, windy day can drop my self perception of
warmth by a good few degrees.

Cheers

Or, you could have a thyroid deficiency.

Me too. (I would have said AOL but as that's gone now...)

Lots of logical explanations in this thread but logical explanations
don't make one feel warmer.

I deliberately went to Thunder Bay one winter because I'd been
promised -40#C but in the end the miserable bastards could only
deliver -26#C. Where's the fun in that? But I still managed to fulfil
the fantasy of flying in to the airport through a snowstorm in a
prop-driven plane with just the landing lights below so I forgive
them.

-25/26#C is still pretty merciless. I had to keep the camera under my
clothes close to my body when I wasn't using it just to keep the
batteries from losing all their power and when I wanted to use it I
had to remove one of the amazing insulated gloves for a few seconds in
order to fire the shutter button. The moment when the camera shut down
again after only taking a few frames - and I discovered that my
fingers had also shut down at the same time - told me just how bloody
cold, bloody cold really is.

Quite warm here in West Sussex today.

Bloody grass is growing like crazy since the rains started
just over a month ago.
