Why does an ordinary electric fan give comfort in summer even though it cannot cool the air?

Answers (2)

An electric fan does not cool the air. It just creates a forced circulation of the air present inside the room. This circulation will facilitate the evaporation of sweat, that is present on the surface of one’s skin which in turn eliminates the body heat and we feel cool.
