Spin a thermometer around on a string, then dip the end of the thermometer into a liquid and spin it around. the wetbulb will be below ambient.

I imagine that this would the same affect on human skin (ugly bags of mostly water )


Nice and warm here, smoking outside in a tshirt (currently 42F in AC )
