Shouldn't it be the same? The aircon takes in air, be it through the room or from the outside, and runs it through a compressor to drop it's temp right? since the thermostate is the same, shouldn't the temperature be the same? but we do feel colder in the same room in a rainy day right? Or is it me?

The humidity in the air makes you feel the temperature more, so on a rainy day (high humidity) you will feel more chilly than on a sunny day (low humidity). It is felt by many people, so no, it is not just you. Good question.

There are 2 possible reasons.
1. If the blinds are open, solar radiation (reflected off of concrete, asphalt, grass, water, etc) is absorbed by you on a sunny day and makes you feel warmer. You may not realize it but reflected radiation contains quite a bit of heat.
2. The humidity on the rainy day. When cooled by a compressor, the cooled air has a humidity of basically 100%. Some of this makes your clothes damp, giving you a clammy, cold feeling as it evaporates again into the air.

That is your imagination. Think of humidity on the outside as of cooler temp inside.

In my home air condition is natural in 100 degree temperature and factually warm in winter in the NW.
