Why is it that when I set my thermostat to 73° F in the winter it is comfortable. However, 73° F in the summer feels uncomfortably hot? Shouldn’t the same temperature feel the same indoors in a controlled environment (via the thermostat)?

Additionally under the first rounds of cold exposure in the fall, your body has to adjust internally up-regulating thermogenesis and activating brown adipose tissue which is the fat that helps maintain body temperature. That’s why a 50 degree day in September feels cold yet in January people where I live will bust out their shorts. So exposure to the outside environment also plays a roll in temperature perception.
