I would think any temperature under our natural body temp would feel cold. To take it further, I live in the north, so 75 can start feeling hot to me, yet people in the south might consider that chilly. We both have the same body temp so how does that work?
In: Biology
First thing: 37 is internal temperature. Your skin is at 29-30 and you actually could feel cold below that, but:
Second thing is that we produce heat and need to dissipate it, so actually we feel hotness in temperatures over 30, but feel comfortable when surroundings are bit lower than actual temperature of our skin, and
Third: thin layer of air around us is actually warmer, that let’s us feel the same temperature as colder when we stand in stream of wind, also it let’s us get out from sauna into temperatures below zero and do not feel it for a while, that also makes water at swimming pool cold at 22 degrees while you feel comfortable in that temperature of air.
This also makes your ice cream melt faster if you try to eat it riding on your bike.
