There are in a sense three different temperatures, and a “feels like” forecast combines all of them into one measurement.

The temperature of the still air around you (ambient/default/true temperature).

The temperature of that air while being chilled by whatever the wind currently is (wind chill).

And the temperature of the still air when filled with however much water is currently in the air (humidity).
