The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
