The perspiration works like this: first the body uses water to produce sweat; then the sweat on the skin evaporates (or dries up), when the sweat dries, it cools off the body.

On humid days (when it feels sticky and wet outside), the perspiration process may not work well enough to keep your body cool, since the sweat we make doesn’t dry up as well.
