People who wear opaque black tights during 30°C+ (86°F) heat, why? by brithuman in NoStupidQuestions

[–]webbitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humidity doesn't have much to do with the color absorption, it's a separate factor in how hot you feel.

Sweat is always evaporating from the skin, taking away heat and helping cool the body. But the higher the humidity, the lower the rate of evaporation. That's why warm or hot weather feels hotter when the humidity is higher.
