Does temperature feel hotter the higher the elevation?

Will, for instance, 100f feel a lot hotter if you lived at 1000m above sea level as opposed to 100f at sea level?

It would feel about the same. The pressure would be lower and the air would be drier, so sweating would be easier so sweating would be easier, so you could likely last longer in high temperatures at high elevations.

You would also not habe as much oxygen available to you, so extended periods of activity would be difficult (in the heat or otherwise)
