My guess is that a part of your body is still exposed and is able to cool off, often in cool surrounding air. You are also usually completely stationary in the bath/shower and don’t do activities that generate heat. Oh, you also usually (I hope) wear clothes when you are in the air which make you retain heat. Trying going outside naked in 35 C weather. It’s not too bad as long as there’s no sun.
