Why isn't wind warm? Air is making friction isn't it

otherwise your skin would be like stone-I Fell warm wind from the direction from the sun.Air friction is actually a tornado.Thats what i think!Reply if Right!......
Whenever it gets warm where I live the wind just ruins being outside. If air is making friction on your skin and you obviously feel it then why isn't it warm? Friction always makes heat...

Because of Bernoulli's Principle. This means that a medium (air) moving across a body (your body) creates a slight low pressure right above the surface (your skin) and this carries away tiny amounts of water molecules on the surface of your skin which take away heat with them. Less heat means the sensation of a cool breeze.
Oh and you are still right about the friction heat thing, but its just on such a small scale that it makes less of an impact than Bernoulli's Principle. But perhaps if you were being dragged through "about to dry concrete" at a really high speed then in that case the friction would win.

Air friction is measurably increasing the temperature of objects starting from Mach 1 (1 x speed of sound). The cooling effect of the wind is caused by the increase of water vaporization from the skin. That "decompression" of water vapour generates cold enery (like ice spray). For the same reason you feel cold when coming out of a swimming pool. The only difference is that this water is not from your inside

because your body is wet and when water turns from liquid to a vapor it removes heat.The basics works like a modern a/c unit. When the Freon in your a/c turns from liquid to gas then the air comes out cold, Your skin is always wet, otherwise your skin would be like stone

That's what i think!
