The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
