Q: Why do easterly winds make you feel colder?

The east wind increases the feeling of coldness due to its dry nature, which causes it to draw moisture from the surface of the skin, which increases heat loss from the body and enhances the feeling of coldness. The wind itself carries cold air, and as its speed increases, the effect of what is known as the "wind-cooling effect" increases. The rapid flow of cold winds removes the warm layer of air near the surface of the body, making the person feel that the temperature is lower than it actually is.
