After moving from Phoenix to the Seattle area, I've noticed the 'feels like' temperature is about 11C difference. 30C in Phoenix feels like 19C in Seattle.

Humidity and/or wind?

I've noticed temperatures in Scotland on mountains feeling much colder than lower temperatures in the Alps.

Largely humidity.

In Denver, I could run for an hour in direct sunlight with the temperature about 30 C. In Washington, DC, that would have been suicidal.

Yes, but DC is famous for its humidity, whereas Phoenix is known for its "dry heat."
