Looking for a word

A thought from yesterday:

On the one hand, it was a lovely, invigorating, mild day, which fills me with joy.

On the other hand, Boston isn't supposed to have days that nice in February, so it carries a shading of existential dread.

Surely, there must be a German word for this sensation, right?

I don't know the word, but I have had the same feeling.

OTOH, last week I saw an article that said the mild weather isn't climate change, it's a specific thingy going on with the jet stream.

German is one of those languages that let you create words to fit the situation. I'd probably go with Freudegruseln
