it has something to do with physics:

every "material" has its own thermal conductivity.

that means the energy transferred increases as the thermal conductivity of the material increases. thats why if you tough a piece of wood which has the exact same temperature of a piece of metal it still will feel less warm.

because wood's thermal conductivity is lower than metals, it will "transfer" less energy (energy = temperature) per second to your finger, so you will feel it less.

so figure thermal conductivity of humid air is higher than dry air.

How does the humidity of the air around you affect how well your skin cools your body Explain your answer?

When the air is humid, it already contains a high level of moisture, so your skin's ability to evaporate sweat and cool your body is reduced. This is because the humid air is already saturated with moisture, making it harder for the sweat on your skin to evaporate effectively and cool you down. As a result, your body may feel hotter and less able to regulate its temperature in humid conditions.


What is the solution to the brain teaser regarding the day before being hotter than today?

The answer to the brain teaser "What is the day before today if two days from now will be the second day this week that will be hotter than today" is Friday. This is because if today is Friday, the day before today, which is Thursday, will be hotter than today (Friday), and two days from Friday is Sunday, which will be the second day that is hotter than Friday.
