The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
