minus-squareSkullgrid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·3 months ago… isn’t it the other way around?
minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·3 months agoNope. You lose heat by evaporation of water on your skin. If the air is too humid, water can evaporate worse and worse. That’s why heat in the Sahara is easier to handle than in the amazon forest.
minus-squareSkullgrid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·3 months agoOK, but I’m not talking about making your body temperature drop, I’m talking about feeling cooler. Doesn’t having more stuff in the breeze make it feel cooler?
minus-squarePrunebutt@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·edit-23 months agoI don’t know what else to tell you other than “evaporation makes it feel colder”.
minus-squareNikelui@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoHave you ever been in a Turkish sauna? That’s the same principle. Warm water in the air is definitely not pleasant and refreshing.

That air isn’t moving
