Beyond the sweating effects that others have mentioned, high humidity also means there’s a lot of water in the air which means it holds more energy.

In low humidity, it can be 100F during the day, but cool down to 50F at night.

In high humidity, it can be 100F during the day, but only cool to 90F at night.
