it has something to do with physics:
every "material" has its own thermal conductivity.
that means the energy transferred increases as the thermal conductivity of the material increases. thats why if you tough a piece of wood which has the exact same temperature of a piece of metal it still will feel less warm.
because wood's thermal conductivity is lower than metals, it will "transfer" less energy (energy = temperature) per second to your finger, so you will feel it less.
so figure thermal conductivity of humid air is higher than dry air.
