When it is 'humid', or 'muggy', that means that less of your body's perspiration is evaporating off. Evaporating is a cooling process, because the perspiration absorbs heat in the process. When it's dry, more of your perspiration is evaporating, therefore giving you a little extra cooling.

Answer Moist climates are more cloudy. Cloud impedes radiative cooling. Dry climates usually have less cloud (although Lima, Peru is often cloudy, thanks to the influence of the Humoldt Current) and so have less cloud, and more radiative cooling at night, although the common literary depicton of deserts as very hot during the day and freezing cold at night is false.

∙ 15y agoWater is an incredibly effective greenhouse gas. Without much water vapor in the air heat energy is not retained as effectively at night and temperatures drop precipitously after sunset. During the day, the high solar radiation receipt (cloudless skies, typically low latitudes) and descending air (adiabatic warming) lead to high energy receipt during the day boosting temperatures to record levels.

∙ 11y agothe difference is when it's humid it's really hot and dry and there's no wind. But when it's a hot climate then it's really hot but there's still some wind.

∙ 7y agowater realeses water vapor which makes temperature vary,rather than stay persistant like with dry land.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoBecause water vapor in the air takes time to heat up and cool down. Dry environments have less water vapor in the air and so chage temperature more quickly.

What type of climates are the climates rain forest desert and Savannah?
Rain Forest Climates are usually very wet and humid, desert climates are usually hot and dry, and savannah climates are usually in the dry, 70's.
What happen if you move a rock sculpture from a dry climate to an humid climates?
It turns a purpley green
Humid air is filled mostly with?
The difference between humid and dry air is the amount of water vapour held in the air "water vapor"Humid implies wet. Humid air is largely filled with water particles.
What type of weather the tropics experience?
it is both rainy and sunny and very humid because they have a wet and dry season. Wet is the monsoon season and it rains a lot in the rain forest
What is the difference between a xerach succession and a hydrach succession?
Xerach succession is initiated in very dry situations and climates. Hydrach succession takes place on very wet land or in water.
What is the difference between arid and humid America?
Arid America typically has low precipitation levels and dry climates, including regions like the desert southwest. Humid America experiences higher levels of precipitation and has more moisture in the air, such as in the Southeastern United States. These differences in climate affect the types of vegetation, wildlife, and ecosystems present in each region.
What is the difference between wet tropical climates and tropical wet and dry climates?
The distribution of annual precipitation
What type of climates are the climates rain forest desert and Savannah?
Rain Forest Climates are usually very wet and humid, desert climates are usually hot and dry, and savannah climates are usually in the dry, 70's.
What is the difference between a rainforest reptile and a desert reptile?
Rain Forest reptiles need higher humidity and live in warm, humid and rainy enviroments Desert Reptiles live in dry climates and need high heat
Weathering happens more quickly in humid climates than in dry ones?
True
What is the main difference between the tropical climates?
There are big differences between the two types of tropical climates that exist. This main difference is that one is hot and dry while the other is hot and wet.
What happen if you move a rock sculpture from a dry climate to an humid climates?
It turns a purpley green
What are three types of climates in Spain and Portugal?
Semiarid subtropical dry summer and humid oceanic
What is the main difference between the two tropical climates?

Why are there no lightingbugs in Utah?
The air is too dry in Utah. Lightingbugs only live in more humid climates.
What are the two climates of Northern Territory in Australia?
The two major climates are the humid, monsoonal climate of the northern half and the dry desert climate of the southern half.
In what situations might a dehumidifier be helpful?
They reduce the amount of water in the air and can be used in humid climates to make a living space dryer and more comfortable. It is particularly useful in helping keep sensitive electronics dry in humid climates.
