Default Why do thermometers never agree?

I have three thermometers, they read the same when placed
next to each other. Put one in another room, and it reads
colder, yet I can feel as I walk into the room that it's warmer.


How a room feels depends on a lot more than
just the air temp, the temperature of the walls
is just as important to how warm it feels.


What's important to a person is how warm it feels. I guess thermometers should be hung in the centre of the room, so they smack you in the face as you walk in.
