Those articles explain wind chill and the heat index, which determine the “feels like” for winter/summer. The tldr is that in cold weather, strong wind will make you freeze faster as if it was colder. In hot weather, high humidity will make it harder for you to sweat and cool yourself off.
Wind chill.
Three ways any object can lose heat. Conduction is heat moving through a solid. Radiation is heat loss via electromagnetic radiation, eg a fire’s flames. Convection is the third, heat transfer through liquid or gas. An object warms up the air (in this case) immediately next to it. That air then warms up the air next to it. It’s a slow process, all things considered. Now have a breeze. That breeze will continually replace the warmed air next to the object with cooler air. This speeds up the loss of heat, making it feel cooler. One might say that wind chill speeds up the rate at which heat is lost to the same degree as would be seen at a lower temperature.
