To my understanding we cool off via sweat by heating up the sweat and letting it evaporate off. That system should only function based on my understanding if the air is cooler than our skin. If that is the only system in play our body temp minimum should always be the temp of the outside air, making 110F weather fatal. What am I missing here?
In: Biology
Your body cools to the dew point, not temperature; a dew point higher than body temperature is fatal.
