Because what we perceive as temperature is not necessarily the air temperature. What we perceive is the rate at which our body dissipates its own body heat. One of the main factors in determining that is the difference between our body temperature and air temperature, but humidity and wind velocity also have a big effect. They factor all of these things into determining what the “feels like” temperature is.
