Why is sultriness felt more during monsoon weather?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: वायु में जलवाष्प और सापेक्ष आर्द्रता अधिक होती है

Correct answer: A. Sultriness is the uncomfortable, hot and sticky feeling produced when the air contains a large amount of moisture. During monsoon weather, moist winds usually bring abundant water vapour, so relative humidity is often high. Sweat cools the body mainly by evaporating from the skin. When the surrounding air is already humid, it has less capacity to accept additional water vapour. As a result, sweat evaporates more slowly, and the body loses heat less effectively. This makes the air feel oppressive even when the temperature is not at its maximum. Option B is the opposite of the actual condition: dry air usually allows faster evaporation and feels less sultry. Option C is not a general or necessary feature of monsoon weather; sunlight may be present between rain events. Option D is also wrong because rain does not make evaporation impossible; evaporation can continue whenever liquid water receives energy and the air can accept vapour. Therefore A correctly links monsoon moisture, high humidity, slow sweat evaporation, and sultriness. Memory cue: humid air slows sweat evaporation, so the body feels sticky.
