Re: [RC] The desert vs the humidity of the SE - Laney Humphrey

Yeah, but it's that evaporative cooling effect that gets you in trouble with dehydration. You feel cool so you don't realize how much you are sweating and how much you should be drinking.

And the nice thing about the desert/low humidity is that evaorative cooling WORKS! That means that your sweat evaporates! It also means that if you're hot, you can dump water on yourself, and it will actually evaporate and cool you nicely, rather than just make you chafe in unmentionable places while you stay soggy. <G>
