Unexplained experiences in Pune

It has been more than a decade but the moment is still fresh in memory. Don't remember the exact time now, but it was sometimes between 1996-1999 during hot months of May-June. One day when going towards Kothi Gate from department (Pune University Computer Science Department) around 2:00pm, when it is quite hot during the day, at the crossroads near the department it seemed as if something touched my hand or my hand touched something, and it felt as if I touched cold ice. Rest of the body except that part of the hand was hot in sun and that part of the hand was quite cold.

Perhaps some kind of invisible thing - could it be convection current? could it be some invisibility experiment at university?
