Both air temperature and humidity affect how hot a person feels. Humidity, which is O.4.1.3 moisture in the air, plays an important part in this feeling. Evaporation of perspiration (sweat) from the surface of the skin is one of the ways the human body cools itself. Sweat does not evaporate as quickly from the surface of the skin when the air is humid as it does in a dry climate. Thus, in high humidity conditions, the natural cooling process is reduced, making a person feel hotter. Low humidity can be a problem in hot, dry (i.e. low humidity) climates. In these conditions, sweat evaporates very rapidly, which can lead to severe dehydration if not enough water is drunk throughout the day.
