Sticky, humid conditions make cooling off challenging by preventing your body from sweating like it naturally should.

Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. If there is a lot of water vapor in the air, the humidity will be high. The higher the humidity, the wetter it feels outside. Accuweather explains why it's harder to cool off in humidity.
