Why does wind feel “cold” even if the air around is very warm

Surely the combined air molecules that are hitting your skin have the same temperature and possibly even more due to the increased kinetic energy?

I could be wrong, so better wait for real OP.
But i think i still know why

Your body loses energy while sweating because it takes thermal energy to convert from a liquid (sweat) to gasous state.
Wind accelerates this procedure. Making you lose energy fast enough even if the air surrounding is “warm”.
