the human body’s temperature is typically in the upper 90s, then why does an 80-90 degree day feel so hot? Wouldn’t it feel cool to us relative to our body temperature?

We generate *a lot* of heat simply existing, and we need to get rid of that heat in order to stay at 98.6F.
If we’re in an ambient environment of 80-90 degrees, there’s not a lot of temperature gradient available to help us get rid of it. We feel hot because our internal heat is building up.
