Ever blow on coffee or soup to cool it faster?
“Air” is made from molecules with a certain amount of heat. When they bump into others with more or less, energy tries to equalize.
More airflow leads to more opportunities for the molecules to bump, leading to a faster change in temp.
That being said, the temp of an object won’t get colder than the wind blowing, as energy would transfer the other way.
