"No idea but when I had a water birth the water had to be kept at 37 degrees
J x"
God damn it, I'll have to use Google now instead of swinging forums to find out.
I imagine it's so the baby doesn't go into thermal shock or something? |

"I'm talking about whether you would feel the moment your finger touches and goes under water?
Well it's Saturday night, if you have nothing better to do try it. "
I don't have the means to measure or control water temperature in my house. |

Kettle, freezer, fridge. And you don't have a thermometer at home.
Or just pour water in a glass give it a hour and it should be room temperature like your finger. |

If your finger would be your room temperature then you would probably be dead or no longer have a finger. |

"Yes, you would feel the change in resistance from air to water."
But I didn't feel my finger be engulfed by water when I stuck my finger in it?
In fact I didn't feel anything and had to check to see if it was even in it. |

You have some sensory loss to your fingers then. |

"What happens when you get off a plane when it is 37*c outside. Do you feel that? "
We've already established water and air temperature are sensed differently. |

Well I did just feel cold water touch my finger. |

"Yes because we have more then just sensations of temperature changes "
Precisely. I was eliminating the temperature aspect. As the question is entirely dumb to begin with.  |

The surface of your skin will not be 37°C. Your core body temperature will be somewhere in the order of 36-37°C but definitely not the surface of the skin. Getting into water at 37°C would feel pretty warm. And as already stated, the sensation of water vs air on the various receptors in the skin (mainly pressure receptors - baroreceptors) would make you notice the change, even if you could find water precisely at your skin's temperature. |

Water is heavier than air. We feel pressure based on the barometric pressure on our skin. So yes you would feel it if the water was precisely the same temperature as your skin which isn't 36.4-37C that is your core. |

"As my finger is the same temperature as my bottom will I feel it if I stick it up there . Just a follow-on thought about temperature differences "
Not if your arse is totally slack... |

"Slight tangent, but did you know how and cold water sound different?
Hot* and cold
Do you mean how sound travels through hot vs cold water?"
No as in the sound of water when its hitting something, iirc hot water has a lower frequency and longer wavelength compared to cold water
For example if i stood round the corner of the bathroom, and you turned on a tap with an adequate amount of pressure behind it, i could tell which tap you turned on by the listening to the sound of the water splashing against the sink |
