Humid air has a lot more molecules in it because of evaporated water mixing with the atmosphere. Because of this, your body is getting bombarded by more heated up molecules than dry air. Adding to that, your sweat also doesn’t evaporate nearly as well because the air is already soaked, so you don’t cool down as well.
