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?

Best explanation is this, imagine standing outside in 95f summer heat without any breeze. But once you are in your car and driving 35mph with windows down. All of the sudden it doesn’t feel like 95f but much cooler.

Wind will cool you off in any temperatures but a thermometer doesn’t need any cooling nor heating thus can record actual temperature.
