Its 33°F right now but it feels so cold that I really thought it was like 10° out. But a week ago I remember being outside and it felt pretty nice. I checked and the temperature was 36°F. It should feel the same shouldn’t it?
I also notice this happens when the season changes. When summer is ending and the temp starts to drop into the 60s it feels so cold but when winter is ending and it starts to go *up* into the 50s and 60s it practically feels like summer.

Our bodies are internally heated, and then cooled by the air around it. The temperature of the air controls how quickly we can shed heat.
But beyond that, we also take in heat from the suns radiation. That is largely dependant on how straight of a line the sun has to is. If it’s morning/evening vs noon, or winter vs summer, the suns light goes through more atmosphere on its way to you, and so you take in less heat from it.
