Dont know if I asked the question right but here goes…. There are times where the temperature is 75F and it’s cloudy and feels cool. There are other times where it’s 75F and sunny and I’m sweating outside. Obviously the sun right? But the temperature is the same? Does the sun not affect the temperature all the time. Also I’ve been in 50 degrees in a humid climate and it feels a lot colder than 30 in a dry climate. I always thought temperature was hot or cold but I feel like sometimes there’s more to it than that. Also I’m well aware of humidity and heat and also wind chill. I’m not referring to those things

What you feel depends on how quickly heat leaves your body. On a hot day, or when you’re under a blanket, or in the sun, or standing on hot pavement, you will feel hotter than other days because for one reason or another heat is having trouble flowing out of your body.
Even something as simple as blood flow to your skin, or what you ate, can influence how hot you feel because they influence the way your body produces and moves heat around.
