What’s the difference between the real temperature and the “feels like” temperature?

Question

Someone tell me if this is the wrong flair

Answer 1

“Feels like” temperature is accounting for other forces that affect what the temperature feels like to us. It feels hotter when it’s humid because the sweat that we produce does not get evaporated like it’s supposed to when it’s hot and dry out. When it’s cold, but if feels colder, that’s because of wind chill (how hard the wind is blowing at you).
