Is sweat partly condensation?

389 views

Someone tells me that on humid days, sweat that makes skin feel sticky or damp is mostly just condensation and not actually sweat. But that sounds like BS, because body temperature is almost always going to be hotter than ambient temperature, so condensation can’t form.

Nah. (edit: mostly nah)

On humid days what happens is that your sweat is prevented (not completely, but mostly) from evaporating. That’s why we tend to be moist and sticky while simultaneously being extra hot. *edit: our sweat isn’t evaporating and taking our heat away.*
