An air-conditioned classroom in Texas is maintained at 72ºF in the summer. The students attend classes in shorts, sandals, and tee shirts and are quite comfortable. In the same classroom during the winter, the same students wear wool slacks, long-sleeve shirts, and sweaters, and are equally comfortable with the room temperature maintained at 75ºF. Assuming that humidity is not a factor, explain this apparent anomaly in "temperature comfort."
