Dear Student,
During summers the body gets heated up it requires to be cooled down ,so it sweats alot.This sweating or prespiration maintains the body temperature because prespiration produces cooling. The cooling effect is because when the sweat evaporates it requires heat .The heat required is taken from the body thats why sweating produces cooling on the body .
