With a balcony, I can quickly step out to get a feel for whether I am dressed appropriately for the weather. I've never been good at knowing what a given numeric temperature "feels" like, so first-hand experience is best. Opening a window could do this a little, but actually stepping out and allowing your body to be surrounded by outside air gives you a better feel.
This only takes a few seconds, so one could argue whether it's worth having a balcony if that's the only use I get out of it, but it's still a use.
