Why does the body feel warmer on more humid days than less humid days?

Your body cools itself by perspiration; droplets of sweat are excreted through the pores and onto the skin. If the air is dry, and if you have a little breeze, the perspiration will evaporate quickly. This requires that the liquid water absorb heat from the skin and surrounding air in order to be come water vapor. This cools you off.
If the air is still and damp, then the perspiration remains on your skin and does not evaporate. And doesn't cool you off.

Sweat glands. Your body perspires on hot days; the liquid water on your skin evaporates, carrying heat away from your body. That's why humid days feel so much hotter than dry days; the perspiration cannot evaporate when the humidity is high.
