I have ceiling fans that I run (on slow) clockwise when it’s cold. I can clearly feel the mixing of upper level (warm) air into my environment which is comfortable but my wife thinks any moving air is cold air and hates it. I think I need to position multiple temp sensors at various heights and locations to prove my point but my concern is that if I have empirical evidence to back my supposition it will be poorly received because, of course, I’m over-thinking it. Thoughts?

Edit: after receiving the thoughts I requested I must say I agree with everyone and will simply pack my opinion away and mix a lovely beverage with some warming whiskey when we settle in tonight…of course, I’ll make two so we can enjoy together.

Edit edit: Sorry, but as I am a goober I had to gather data and I can unequivocally state that fan blowing up makes temp sensors warmer.

    my wife has some sort of sensory issues with moving air that she finds difficult to describe beyond “uncomfortable”, is it possible your wife has something similar and is using uncomfortable temperature as a stand-in explanation?
