I have ceiling fans that I run (on slow) clockwise when it’s cold. I can clearly feel the mixing of upper level (warm) air into my environment which is comfortable but my wife thinks any moving air is cold air and hates it. I think I need to position multiple temp sensors at various heights and locations to prove my point but my concern is that if I have empirical evidence to back my supposition it will be poorly received because, of course, I’m over-thinking it. Thoughts?
Edit: after receiving the thoughts I requested I must say I agree with everyone and will simply pack my opinion away and mix a lovely beverage with some warming whiskey when we settle in tonight…of course, I’ll make two so we can enjoy together.
Edit edit: Sorry, but as I am a goober I had to gather data and I can unequivocally state that fan blowing up makes temp sensors warmer.
You could both be right. She might be a more clammy person, so has some evaporation coming off her… Meaning more wind-chill or evaporative cooling. This fits with the idea that women have slightly higher body temperatures.
So it’s cooler for her, warmer for you.
