Would sweat evaporate more quickly if the humidity were 92 percent or 37 percent?

I believe when you said Humidity, it meant Relative Humidity. When RH is more, in your case 92 percent, the air can absorb less water than the RH is at 37 percent. That is the reason we sweat when the humidity is more in the atmosphere. High temperature with less atmospheric RH is popularly known as DRY heat, where your sweat will readily evaporate and you will never know you are perspiring until you feel dizzy or faint out with sun stroke.


Why does sweat evaporate quickly in the desert?

Hot deserts generally have a very low humidity and water evaporates quite rapidly.


Why do we sweat more in humidity?

It is actually not a matter of sweating more but of it being more difficult to evaporate the sweat. If you are in a dry and windy place it is very simple for sweat to evaporate, in a more humid area there is more water in the air already and therefore makes evaporation of the sweat much more difficult. Then it would appear that you sweat more because you are seeing the sweat, however it is a matter of evaporation.


Why high humidity makes us feel hotter in hot weather?

One of our body's mechanisms to cool us down is to sweat. In a low humidity environment the sweat can evaporate, absorbing extra heat from our body to help cool it. In high humidity, it is much more difficult - or impossible - for the sweat to evaporate and thus we can't get the benefit of the evaporative cooling.

How does the temperature of the air affect the amount of humidity you feel?

Increase in temperature makes us sweat. Normally when sweat evaporates it takes heat from body to evaporate and thus cools our body. But when humidity is high the sweat is not able to evaporate thus our body is not able to cool. In cold weather we will not experience this as body does not sweat.Thus increased temperature affects the amt of humidity we feel.


Why the sweat from a body does not evaporate easily on a hot and a sticky day?

The stickiness of the day is humidity. So most of the moisture on your body is the wetness in the air and not just sweat.


What is the Effects of high humidity on human body?

High humidity makes it harder for the human body to cool down because sweat does not evaporate from the skin as easily. Also, high humidity can cause allergies to worsen.


What is relationship between relative humidity and temperature?

There is an effect if you're a living being and trying to cool down. Humidity does not change the temperature. It will make it difficult for your body to cool down, so it 'feels' hotter with humidity. Sweat has to evaporate for your body to cool down. It's harder to evaporate when the air is already saturated with water (ie high humidity).


Why do you feel uncomfortable on a hot during the rainy season?

The heat is unbearable in summers because the rains cause high humidity. Due to high humidity in air, the sweat doesn't evaporate making the heat unbearable .


Why do people sweat under their arms?

The sweat glands are more numerous under the arms, and the moisture produced there does not evaporate as quickly as on skin exposed to the air.
