Is it that weird? I know a few who have them. It's a killer workout
My neighbors are used to seeing me naked through the windows during the summer now, we just kinda nod and half wave or raise our drinks if we have them
Buddy I'm a one note joke (and it's one that someone else was doing before I got here apparently) if I haven't been banned yet you golden. But also explain again but like you would to someone whos really drunk, cause I am and I didn't follow any of that but I'm curious.
Sure thing!
See, the reason you sweat when you get hot, is sweat is a liquid. when a liquid changes phase to gas, it needs energy to transition (this is called latent evaporation energy in this specific case). The energy is there, on your skin, so your sweat absorbs heat from your skin in order to transition from a liquid to a gas and leave (evaporate)
However, the WHY it WANTS to evaporate is the issue. It wants to because the air around you is at that moment able to absorb moisture. So frankly, your sweat would prefers to be devolved into the surrounding air that hang around on your skin as a liquid.
So as your sweat evaporates, it forms a layer of high humidity air next to your skin, as that air saturates from having your sweat dissolved in it. This lowers the rate of evaporation.
When a breeze blows by you it takes that layer away and brings new, drier (hopefully) air next to your skin so the efficiency of the process increases. That is why a breeze feels cooling to you even when it is nearly as hot as your actual skin.
BUT
As we talked about, sweat wants to go to the air, because the air wants the sweat, because it's dry. And water to air is sort of like a cat to a container: If I fits, I sits.
So, basically, if the air around you is already very humid, your sweat won't "fits" anymore, so it won't "sits" as easily. Therefore the rate at which your sweat evaporates is reduced, as less and less of your sweat "fits" into the air rushing past your body.
If the relative humidity around you is 100%, then you CAN'T evaporate any sweat, period.
So, basically, the drier the air, the more of a love affair it develops with the sweat, and the more it pulls it off of you. And in order for it to do that, it pulls heat from your skin so it cools you in the process.
