humidity

water is a good thermal conductor, so the thermal transfer is greater (that is, more heat is being transfered from the hot body (you) to the colder environment.

or air flow

airflow (wind or draft) causes water on your skin to evaporate faster, which needs energy to occur, this energy is being pulled from your body, so you feel cool

You wrote what I was going to, except faster and better.

If you don't wear shoes indoors, floor temperature and heat conductivity also matters. A carpet feels warmer than wood, which fells warmer than vinyl on concrete, which fells warmer than tile, even when they're all at the exact same temperature.
