There’s the temp and then the “feels like” temp. If they are different, how does a thermometer read the real temp and not what it feels like, since it feels like the feels like temp?

I know this title sounds crazy but I don’t know how to phrase my question better

How my dad explains it is that 20 degrees is 20 degrees no matter what, but wind chill just speeds up how fast your body temperature is dropping to 20 degrees. It “feels” colder because you’re getting colder faster, but at the end of the day it’s still 20 degrees outside. Thermometers don’t have a core body temp to regulate, they just measure the ambient temperature
