You are feeling the infra-red radiation emitted from the Sun hitting your skin and the chemical bonds (mainly the Oxygen-Hydrogen bonds and the Nitrogen-Hydrogen bonds) that make up proteins in your skin adsorbing this radiation. They adsorb it by transforming the electromagnetic wave (very similar to visible light waves) into vibrational energy. The bonds vibrate like springs and you feel this as heat on your skin.
You cannot feel the UV waves because although your skin is adsorbing a little bit it it does not transform into heat as easily as Infra red.

Why do you get a cool breeze when the sun goes down?
When the sun goes down, the ground starts to cool down. This causes the air above it to also cool, and cooler air tends to sink. As cooler air sinks, it displaces the warmer air, creating a breeze. This breeze can feel cooler because it is coming from an area that has been cooled by the setting sun.
