Solution

  • We sweat more on a humid and hot day.
  • The amount of water vapor will be more on the surrounding air on a humid day.
  • The humid air cannot hold any more water content.
  • It's difficult for more water to evaporate on a humid day.
  • On a hot and dry day, the sweat easily evaporates and as a result we feel cool.
  • But on a humid day due to less evaporation, our body remains hot.
  • So we sweat more in humid conditions.
