Why does humidity in the heat make you feel hotter, but if you spray yourself with a fine mist of water in the heat, you feel cooler for a minute?
In: Earth Science
Humidity in the heat makes you feel hotter because your sweat doesnt evaporate. The reason humans sweat to cool down is because the evaporation of the sweat makes us feel “cooler”
Being misted makes you feel cooler for a moment because the water is a lower temperature than your body, so it will feel nice until it heats up to whatever temperature you are at
