Why does air feel colder when it’s moving fast?

Oh neat, more wind chill.
So assuming the air is cooler than a person, it will take heat away. More air, more heat removal.
There’s an imbalance in heat between person and air. The universe tends to favor balances.
Something giving off heat in a non-moving fluid will first warm the fluid around them. It’s why you can feel someone’s warmth without actually touching them.
Moving air constantly refreshes the air. Instead of a gradient of body temp-warm air-less warm air-cool air, there will always be body temp-cool air.
There is also evaporative cooling. Humans sweat to cool off. Air can only hold so much water at a certain temperature. Constantly replacing the air around a person constantly adds new air to take more liquid and therefore more energy away.
