I always assumed the way sweat cooled us was how the water on the outside of our skin cools off and in turn cools the skin down however I don’t get why the air that cools the sweat cant cool our bodies especially if our skin can heat that sweat just as fast or faster than the air can cool it.

In dry climates like Nevada, Arizona, and Utah where there’s little humidity in the air, one option for cooling a house is an evaporative cooler. They operate by having a big metal box on top of the roof typically and in the four sides are a material that can absorb water. A fan pulls air through the wet pads and down into the house. With the humid air being blown into the house, that moist air evaporating is what cools the house. Funny enough, it works best with your windows open compared to a traditional AC unit that runs with the windows closed
