How does the weather app distinguish the actual weather, from what it ‘feels like’?

Question

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.

Humidity and wind change how it feels. 40 degrees Fahrenheit will feel much colder with a strong wind than if no wind at all.

Also 80 degrees Fahrenheit will feel much warmer with high humidity and no wind than with a lower humidity and stronger winds
