why do hot days feel hot?

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 don’t feel temperature. What we feel is if we are warming or cooling. As the air temp. goes up our ability to get rid of our excess heat is decreased. We feel this as it being hot. This is why even on a hot day a gust of wind can make us feel cooler because it causes us to lose some heat as moving air takes away more heat from us than still air.
