Why are Human most comfortable at 22*c and why not 37*C
We feel most comfortable when we maintain our body temperature of 37*C , so why we don't feel most comfortable when it is 37*C in the ambient air? We would if we were nudist.
But most of us cling to the habit wearing clothes. Clothing Helps us retain body heat, some of which must be dissipated in order for us to feel comfortable in warm environments. Uncovered parts of body usually radiate enough heat to meet the ambient air temperature halfway. if we are fully clothed at 22*C , the uncovered hands, ears and face will radiate only a small portion of our heat but enough to make us feel comfortable. Nude at 22*C we would feel cold, four our bodies would give off too much heat. Humidity and wind also affect our comfort level. The more humid the air, the greater ability it has to absorb heat. Wind can also wreak havoc with our comfort level. It hasten the flow of the heat we radiate and then constantly moves the air away and allows slightly cooler air to replace it.
