Why do 37 degrees feel hot?

As you all know, the human body temperature is ca. 37 degrees. So in order to maintain that temperature, the body has to be cooled down if it is hot outside and heatened up when it is cold. So wouldn’t one think that an external temperature that matches body temperature would be ideal?
Is it because the body is used to producing heat in colder environments and starts to panic when it gets hotter as the produced heat might overheat the body?
