I feel dumb but… how is the weather not just automatically what it ‘feels like’? Or how does outside not ‘feel like’ the actual weather? Also who is the God that determines the number that the weather feels like? Because it can be different for everyone. Hope you guys understand my drift, i’m confusing myself the more i think about it.

The way that you feel temperature is dependent on the rate of heat transfer between your body and the environment; you don’t feel actual temperature differences, but instead you feel the rate of heat leaving or entering your body, which your brain then interprets as temperature. This is also why things like metal or water at room temperature will feel colder than the air; the rate of heat transfer from your body into those things will be higher than into the air, thus you feel that it’s cooler despite the fact that its all at the same temperature.
“Feels like” temperatures are a temperature correction for outside weather conditions, particularly wind and humidity. 32F/0C with a stiff breeze will feel a lot colder than 32F/0C with no wind. The “Feels like” temperature itself is just calculated.
