niiskuskülmavi
Niiskuskülmavi is a term used in Estonia to describe a specific type of cold weather characterized by high humidity. It's not a meteorological term with precise scientific definitions but rather a common descriptor for a feeling of penetrating coldness that is amplified by moisture in the air. This sensation is often associated with temperatures hovering around freezing, where the cold feels more intense than dry cold at the same or even lower temperatures.
The phenomenon occurs when water vapor in the air comes into contact with the skin and clothing.
Factors contributing to niiskuskülmavi include proximity to bodies of water like the Baltic Sea or large lakes,
