Are there still everyday phenomena unexplained by Physics? If yes, what are a few?

1$\begingroup$ Lots. Chemistry is based on physics. But most of chemistry is not explained in directly terms of physics (quantum mechanics) because it would be hard. Likely to hard to calculate. Laws of chemistry are a shortcut. Likewise, biology is based on chemistry, but has its own rules. Someday we may be able to explain conciousness in terms of biology like we can now explain life. But physics has no way to even start on it. $\endgroup$– mmesser314Commented Nov 8, 2021 at 23:08

Maybe the Mpemba effect is one of those unexplained phenomena, although it is not really an everyday phenomenon. It seems to be trivial thermodynamics but there is no accepted explanation yet. Wiki link
