Why does wind feel cold? At the same temperature, a gust of wind can make you chilly. How does your body “feel” the cold wind?

Part of the reason we feel cold is when water evaporates off our skin. That’s why sweating works to cool you down. Your body releases a bunch of water onto your skin, and then the air evaporates it, leading you to feel cooler.
Wind is also evaporating any moisture off your skin, making you feel a bit colder than you would in just the ambient air.
