That's your experience. No matter how well I dress, I can't stop my bones from aching in the cold. On the flip side, I'm typically comfortable in the heat, even in 38 Celsius temps. I obviously have an upper limit of like 40-45C, but so do most humans.

Likewise it's not really safe to chill outside in -40 to -50C for most humans either. At that point you're getting frostbite through the wool underlayers, and the exposed skin will literally sting.
