Meteorologist Stevie Daniels explains why some nights cool down quickly and how clear skies can actually make you feel colder in this Science with Stevie segment. It is a natural process known as radiational cooling!

In order to achieve maximum radiational cooling, you need these three ingredients:

  • clear skies
  • light winds
  • dry air

Fun fact— sometimes fresh snow on the ground can also lead to a rapid drop in temperatures overnight!
