Why do humans feel hot when it's 98 degrees, yet it's our body temperature?

Question

It boggles my mind.

Answer 1

It's because our core body temperature is 98.6, but the temperature of our skin (the part that senses temperature) is much cooler. Therefore, 98.6 feels hot.  

Answer 2

Basically because we are in equilibrium with our surrounding environment. There is no heat leaving our body or not enough to keep us at a comfortable temperature.

Answer 3

Basically, our bodies produce too much heat (like a car engine) and has to be cooled down (like the water coolant system in the car).  If our bodies cool too quickly, we feel cold, and if they don't cool fast enough, we feel hot.  Therefore, since 98.6 degrees Farenheit (or 37, Celsius) is our body temperature, our bodies don't cool quickly enough...

One of the ways our bodies cool themselves is by producing sweat.  when it evaporates from our skin, it takes some excess heat with it.  If it's very humid, it doesn't evaporate as easily, so that's why high humidity in combination with high heat makes it feel worse.
