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."
