What we feel as temperature is actually the difference in temperature between ourselves and the environment. Our bodies are constantly giving off heat, so when we're in warmer environments we can't give off as much heat, making us feel warmer. It's like filling a sink with an overflow drain. If that hole is clogged (too much clothes) or more water enters the sink than can be drained (too hot of an environment), the sink overflows (we feel warm)
