Why is summer hotter than winter?

Why does summer temperature feel different in winter?

The main reason it feels so differently is because our bodies get used to feeling a certain way. This process is called acclimatize. If you don’t allow your body to adjust and you stay in the warmth most often when it’s cold, your body won’t adapt as well.
