Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
