What does 19 degrees really feel like?

Question

Im from a warmer state...
How many layers should you use in 19F.
If there are 20 mph winds?

Answer 1

It wil feel like about zero degrees on your skin. That's very cold and you want to protect yourself from prolonged exposure to such cold. Wear something that is windproof, like a Carhartt jacket. They are the best. Keep your ears covered. Wear a hat. Keep your hands covered. Wear waterproof shoes. If your feet get wet and cold, you will really feel cold. Try to stay dry. You will lose massive amounts of body heat if your clothes get wet. If you begin to shiver, you are getting cold. Shivering is your body's way of telling you that you are losing valuable body temperature. Your muscles are rapidly expanding and contracting to maintain warmth. Your blood is draining into your core organs to keep them warm. Don't drink alcohol to "warm up." Alcohol fools your muscles into relaxing and you will get cold without knowing it.

19 degrees Farenheit is not all that cold, but it is not all that warm either. You can suffer hypothermia in such cold if you are ill-dressed for the cold or stay out in it too long. If you "feel cold," you probably are. Be careful and watch for the signs...

Answer 2

I am from Canada so I know cold lol. 19F is like -5 or -6 Celcius which is not all that cold just wear jeans and a winter coat being from a warmer climate you may also want to wear mittens and a winter hat. Add a 20Mph wind and I would put on the mittens and a winter hat you would probably want to add a sweater and maybe some long underwear.

Hope this gives you an Idea of how cold it is today here it is -25 Celcius which is approximatley -15F (now that is cold!)

Answer 3

Well start with an undershirt then a turtle neck, sweater or fleese and a good jacket (try a scarf if you don't like turtlenecks). For the downstairs areas try some thermal underwear but only if you plan to be outside for more than twenty minutes or so and a pair of pants. A hat is a good idea if you plan to be outside for an extended period of time and a pair of gloves or mittens (gloves 0-15 minutes of exposure mittens if 15+ minutes) socks are a must and good boots or sturdy shoes (shoes 0-15 minutes boots 15+ minutes)

Answer 4

Depends on what kind of activities you are going to do outside. It is about 19 where I am at now.

If you were going to be outside very long, especially with twenty miles per hour winds, you would want to wear long thermal underwear, a layer of regular clothes, and a good, warm coat. Also, cover your ears and wear a warm hat. Most of your body heat escapes through the top of your head. I would also suggest warm shoes or boots and gloves.

Answer 5

I'm originally from Minnesota, where it has been 70 below with the wind chill factor. The wind DOES make a HUGE difference!

I would recommend that you not only wear underclothes, but 2 pairs pants, long sleeve shirt, sweater, jacket, and sometimes another jacket! It really depends on how long you are going to be exposed! But definitely don't forget a hat, scarf and mittens! I recommend those as opposed to gloves, because you can keep your fingers together in them for body heat!

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 6

Bitting cold. I would say a tee shirt, sweater, and a coat with gloves and winter hat. If the winds are 20 mph, its most likely that'll feel below zero

Answer 7

have you ever opened the window? Did you turn off the radiator for a era of time? in certain circumstances once you turn off the heating it would want to take really a lengthy time period to warmth decrease back up. Or theres a ghost ;) in user-friendly words kidding. yet curiously there are "chilly" spots of the position spirits are although. unusually sufficient, it will be authentic - even with spirits are (i'm no longer a one hundred% believer) because at the same time as i bypass interior an same room in my abode i trust like someone is observing me, and someplace close to that room I in certain circumstances get those difficulty-free chilly breezes the position i'm notwithstanding that's no the position else.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Aimzie,

19 degrees is very cold (not for me, though).
You should wear a sexy bra, a long shirt / turtleneck, a sweater, and a jacket.
Not to mention gloves, earmuffs, socks, shoes, underwear, a scarf, and a pant.
