Humidity impairs evaporative cooling by reducing moisture evaporation at the skin level, creating a vicious cycle where elevated core temperature drives increased sweat rate, but insufficient evaporation prevents cooling, so heart rate continues to increase.

Evidence Quote
“humidity hampers that slightly there's so much moisture in the air so your core temperature rises you start to sweat a lot more and because there's so much humidity in the air there's not as much evaporation happening at the skin level so it almost becomes this vicious cycle”
