We seem to 'sweat more' on a humid day because as the air is already packed with water molecules, our sweat does not get a chance to evaporate as fast as it would in dry air. So as there is 'no room' for sweat to be absorbed into the water-filled air, which is what humidity is, the sweat just remains a liquid and drips down instead....

Does gravity affect rainfall?
Yes; very much so. Otherwise the atmosphere would float out into space - and it is effectively, the atmosphere that delivers our weather. If our gravity was more like the strength of Jupiter's, for instance, then, besides that our bodies would be extremely heavy and perhaps crush many of us, the air and any water droplets would also exert more pressure upon us - especially, in humid conditions. The rain would fall sooner and more often due to its heavier weight.
Is sweating the best way to cool off?
If you live in a place where the climate can get hot, you will notice that you sweat. The principal behind sweating is pretty simple. The evaporation of the sweat off your skin, makes you feel cooler because of the effect of latent heat as a result of the evaporation of the water. If you live in a place where it can get humid, like London, your skin will be left feeling irritated with the relative humidity because the water is not able to evaporate from your skin. Sweating is practically like swimming in a cool pool on a hot summers day. Sweating is the best natural method to cool off, I think the best way to cool off is to swim in a cool pool because nothing can beat swimming on a hot day. We are one of the only animals that has the ability to sweat, like dogs can't sweat. They release their heat through panting, that is why they pant on a hot day.

The higher the humidity, the more fluid loss a person has from sweating. The more you sweat, the less hydrated you become. Excessive fluid loss from sweating without adequate oral replacement can then lead to heat exhaustion and later, heat stroke. It is necessary when out in humid conditions to make sure you are taking in more fluids than you are losing through sweating.
