Because if you walk into cold room which is dry , the sweat on the surface of the skin evaporates faster than it would in moist air at the same temperature , drawing more heat from the body. Good question.

∙ 14y agoHumidity refers to the content of moisture in the air. At high humidity, the air is saturated with moisture. So, evaporation is least possible. Sweat remains on the body, without evaporating. So, you actually feel sticky and hot when there is high humidity. You will feel cool in low humidity because evaporation of sweat is faster and the water absorbs calories of heat as it evaporates, leaving you cool. I know that high humidity will not make you feel colder - if you do feel colder, it may be because of too much sweat. ( I can prove it, I'm from Mangalore, one of the stickiest coastal cities in India ).

∙ 10y agohumid air is obviously air with a high saturation of water, water works well to conduct heat and retains it for a long time, thusly, when it is humid it will be colder. however in places such as rainforests are humid but hot. this is because it is close to the equator. so in conclusion areas are often colder when humid because of the heat retension properties of water. hope this helps :)

How can you feel water in the air?
You can feel water in the air when the humidity is high. The humidity is the amount of moisture in the air. The humidity gets high when the temperature rises.
How does the temperature of the air affect the amount of humidity that you feel How does the air's temperature also influence the form of precipitation that falls?
The higher the temperature of the air the higher the amount of humidity you feel. Also the colder the airs temperature it can cause precipitation such as hail, snow, and sleet rather then just rain.
Is humidity heat?
No its the amount of moisture in the air. In effect humidity means it will be hotter with summer type temperatures (because its harder for the sweat galnds to cool yourself because of the film of moisture from humidity) and in winter humidity makes it colder (for same reason, but different effect - its a cold layer sitting on your skin and you feel 'damp'
Is humidity damp?
Humidity is water in the air. It makes it feel warmer than what the real temperature is. But no, you cannot feel humidity therefor you cannot feel its dampness
Why do feet feel colder when you come in from outside in the winter?
Feel can feel colder after coming in from cold weather because they are thawing out, which causes them to tingle and feel cold.
How can you feel water in the air?
You can feel water in the air when the humidity is high. The humidity is the amount of moisture in the air. The humidity gets high when the temperature rises.
What is more comfortable - high humidity or low humidity?
A day with low humidityLow humidity. High humidity will prevent sweat from evaporating and hence make you feel warmer.
When the relative humidity of the air is reported as being high then what do we feel?

Is High Humidity hot?
Not necessarily. Humidity is how much water is in the air and it makes the temperature feel warmer, but really doesn't.
Which is bad for your health a dry room or cold room?
A dry room in winter can affect the body and can make the heated room feel colder. Humidifiers are uses to raise the house humidity level. In summer, too much moisture from high outside humidity can make the house very unbearable. Dehumifiers can be used in addition to the humidity removal performed by an air conditioner.
How Do you feel humidity?
Humidity
Why do you feel hotter hotter when relative humidity is high?
Because the more pecentage of the Humidity the more saturated the air so clean air can get to you.

How do interactions of temperature and humidity lead to precipitation?
because the moisture from the humidity rises up because of evaporation and the temperatur gets hotter and hotter or it can ge colder and colder and it will stat to rain
When birds feel colder flying or sitting?
