Will Humidity make you sweat harder?

Question

Will Humidity make you sweat harder?

Answer 1

Yes and no.  The purpose of sweat is to cool the skin by evaporation (have you ever had rubbing alcohol on your skin?) When it is very humid there is already a lot of moisture in the air so this mechanism doesn't work as well.  However, humidity causes the air temperature to feel hotter than it is so you may seat more because of this.

Answer 2

No, we wont sweat since the diffusion rate of water from our skin into the atmosphere will be less.

Answer 4

Humidity stops your body from expelling heat. You have less cooling ability in hot, humid conditions. You may sweat more but it does less for you than if it is dry out.
