Because the more pecentage of the Humidity the more saturated the air so clean air can get to you.
Perspiration evaporates at a slower rate.
Humidity is how much water content is in the air aroundus.I think humid specific means " as we perceive or feel it " This is why you feel hot on a humid day at 80 degree with 90 percent humidity than lets say a day that's 100 degrees with 25 percent humidity (one hundred percent humidity equals Rain) With high humidity we cannot cool off by perspiration,making us Feel warmer than it might actually be.And the reverse can of course be said the less humidity the better we can handle a very high temperature day.
For any given temperature air can only dissolve so much water in it, the amount of water dissolved in air for any given temperature is called the "relative humidity" of the air. Thus in the dry season it is likely that the relative humidity of the air will be low and the air will be able to absorb a lot of water, while during the rainy season the relative humidity will be high and the air will not be able to absorb more water very well.
Increase in temperature makes us sweat. Normally when sweat evaporates it takes heat from body to evaporate and thus cools our body. But when humidity is high the sweat is not able to evaporate thus our body is not able to cool. In cold weather we will not experience this as body does not sweat.Thus increased temperature affects the amt of humidity we feel.
heat refers to the amount of high temperature in air.... and humidity refers to the amount of water in air.....

30 to 50% of Relative humidity - the relative part of relative humidity being relative to the temperature.
Beacause of humidity. High humidity makes people feel hotter outside in the summer because it reduces the effectiveness of sweating to cool the body by preventing the evaporation of perspiration from the skin.
Relative humidity causes heat and therefore discomfort

Relative humidity is 100% of water vapor in the air. When that happens dew forms.
Relative Humidity is measured with a HygrometerHumidity is the amount of water vapor in the air.On hot days, when it feels sticky, the humidity would then be high.
Sweating, by itself, does nothing to cool the body, unless the water is removed by evaporation -- and high relative humidity retards evaporation. This explains why it feels so much hotter in high humidity. When relative humidity reaches a high enough level, the body's natural cooling system simply can't work. Sweat evaporates very slowly, if at all, and the body heats up. In extreme cases, people begin to suffer from heat cramps or heat stroke, which is basically organ failure as the body begins to cook itself.
-35 degrees Celsius.., the relative humidity will be in the high 90%
Mississippi is very much so hotter than Texas, or "feels hotter" because of the humidity. Both states reach high temperatures, but it's Mississippi's humidity that really kills you
