The Skin More Effectively Cools the Body on Drier Days

Question

The skin more effectively cools the body on drier days than on days with high humidity.

Accepted Answer

When humidity is high, the air is already saturated with moisture, making it harder for sweat to evaporate from the skin. This makes it less effective in cooling down the body. On drier days, sweat can evaporate more easily, allowing the skin to cool the body more effectively.
