When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
