When water evaporates, it draws a lot of energy called latent heat of vapourization. It is this demand for energy from evaporating water that causes a cooling effect as it absorbs heat energy from its surroundings.

The Kinetic Theory explains the cooling effect by the phase energy. It takes extra heat to transition water to vapor as it does to transition ice to water. This heat used to do phase transition causes the cooling.
