The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
