SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE MISSED A KEY PART OF THE ANSWER.

Even the current top answer has missed the answer. It’s not all attributed to humidity. Far from it. Humidity can be controlled but you will still feel colder.

The other key ingredient is radiation.

In cold weather, the walls and windows of the room will be colder, and so you will experience more radiative heat loss, even though the air is at the same temperature.
