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.

Why do you sweat profusely in humid day?
we don't sweat more but what actually happens is that sweat gets retained on our body. On humid days air is already containing lot of moisture which prevents evaporation of sweat from our body and thus is retained on the body, which inturn makes us to feel warmer.
Why does Houston feel so much warmer than Austin on most summer days?
It's rare that Houston would actually, by temperature, be much warmer, but it's common that Houston would be much more humid, which makes it feel much warmer.
Why is it that it is uncomfortable during humid hot day?
Our body is cooled when our perspiration evaporates from the surface of our skin. On very humid days the atmosphere is already nearly saturated with moisture so little evaporation takes place. Therefore, we do not cool off and feel much warmer and uncomfortable.

Why is it difficult to feel cooler on hot humid days than it is on hot dry days?
Its called humidity
When the whether is humid there is lots of what in the air?
When the weather is humid, there is a high amount of water vapor in the air. This increased moisture can make the air feel warmer and can lead to discomfort, as it reduces the body's ability to cool down through sweat evaporation. Humidity can also contribute to the formation of clouds and precipitation.
Why do I feel warmer at night?
You may feel warmer at night because your body temperature naturally rises in the evening as part of your circadian rhythm, and your bedding and clothing may trap heat, making you feel warmer.
Does warm humid air feel warmer than warm dry air?
NO! Definitely not.Humid means more water vapour, more water vapour, more heat loss as water vapour is still water and it can conduct heat away from the air and warm dRy air is just warm air basically. =3
Why do people sweet more on humid days?
People sweat more on humid days because the air is already saturated with moisture, making it harder for sweat to evaporate. This results in a build-up of sweat on the skin, which may make people feel sweatier. Sweat production increases as the body tries to cool down through evaporation, but the high humidity inhibits this process.
What will you feel on dry days than humid days?
On dry days, you may feel more dehydrated and have dry skin, lips, and throat. Humid days may make you feel sticky, sweaty, and uncomfortable due to the high moisture content in the air, which can make it harder for sweat to evaporate and cool you down.
Which structure is associated with evaporative cooling to prevent overheating in the body on a hot day?
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.
Does humid air feel colder than dry air?
Yes, humid air can feel colder than dry air because moisture in the air can conduct heat away from the body more effectively, making it feel cooler.
