There is a limit to how much water the air can hold. When the air cannot absorb any more water, the relative humidity is at 100%. The closer the air gets to 100% relative humidity, the less evaporation takes place.
Evaporation of the sweat on our skin is what cools us on a hot day, because the process of evaporation is fueled by heat energy, so as sweat evaporates, it draws heat from our skin.

Why do maritime polar air masses have more effect on the west coast than the east coast?
Maritime polar air masses have more effect on the west coast due to the prevailing westerly winds that bring these air masses from the Pacific Ocean. The west coast is more influenced by these moist and cool air masses, leading to more precipitation and cooler temperatures. In contrast, the east coast is shielded by the Appalachian Mountains, which hinder the penetration of maritime polar air masses from the Atlantic Ocean.
