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

Answer 1

Inanimate objects are always at the actual temp. The feels like temp is what it feels like to a person who needs to create body heat to stay warm. So in no wind, your body has a thin layer of heat keeping it warm. In wind, that layer gets blown away, so you feel a lot colder.
