When 69 degrees is warm and then cold

Yep, Different times of the year and day, the same temp feels different. After a long winter when it gets in the 50's outside its feels almost like summer. Then in the summer if it gets to be in the 50's its chilly or cool. I went out side in a t-shirt the other day, it was in the 40's, sunshine. It didn't feel too bad. I was only out for a minute. Then when it got dark that same temp felt lots colder.

I think that as the temperature drops outside, your furnace is having a harder time keeping the temperature actually AT 69 degrees.

I'm the same way. When sunset hits the chill in the air and house make it seem almost intolorable. I set my thermostat at 71, because our house isn't the easiest to keep warm and the older I get the colder it seems. Sure wish we could move somewhere where it is nice, sunny, and warm all the time.

Well I find that I can tolerate a colder temperature in the morning, but as the day goes along the same temperature can appear colder to me.

I know where you coming from because it was like that with us before, but not any more since we moved to another location. Maybe it's more humid in the daytime with the sunshine and all, and when the sunset the humidity drops, but the temperature stays the same. I heard something like this before on the weather channel. I don't know if that's the case where you are, but who knows?..The weather guy I guess.

It's funny isn't it. In the summer i set my air on 78 and i'm still hot. In the winter time i set the thermostat to 72 if it gets any colder the heat comes on. But i'm actually cold at 72 which in the summer time i like my air on 72 but it's to expensive.

here actually we donot have that problem.only when it is summer season and the weather gets terribbly hot ,mainly because of humidity,i have to turn on the AC.

I think it depends on your country. My country is too humid. So the same temperature somewhere else you would feel more cold here. My island is surrounded with sea and water. So humidity is great. It might be 14 C but you might feel it like it was 11C. © ronaldinu 2008

BRRRRRR..do you ever have that right! It's got to be physocological! A mental state! I do not use my furnace..just my fireplace with an insert! The house is big and I only need to heat the areas that I am in most of the time! So far, I have managed without using it..but the temp is going down to zero tonite, so on will go the fire soon! Are you not more active during the day, when the temp is 68/69 tho? Busy being a bee! I tend to slow down a whole lot more at sundown, so I think that is why I feel the temp. more! It's been rather mild here/B.C./Gulf Islands. How' your weather been!

I have noticed that. Driving home last night the radio said it was 70 degrees out and I was FREEZING. But the other day when it was 70 and sunny all day long it was nice and beautifful day out. Hmm.

Maybe it takes time to warm up and easier to cool down.
