Content: And when it comes to cooling your home with your air conditioner in the summer, comfort can actually get pretty complicated. Comfort isn’t very rational – in fact, it’s very subjective. How Heat and Humidity Affect How You Experience Cool
Apart from mosquitoes, heat and humidity are the main things that make us feel uncomfortable in the summer. Humans rely on evaporating sweat from their skin to cool their bodies. In fact, in order to regulate body temperature, human skin sweats automatically at 98.6° F (37° C). So, when we sit near a fan or under a ceiling fan, the breeze helps evaporate the moisture from our skin. But while the breeze has no effect on the actual air temperature, it does work nicely with our own natural cooling system. In short, “ fans cool people, not rooms. ” This is where humidity enters the equation. Because humid air already holds a lot of water, it takes longer for sweat to evaporate from your skin.
