If an area has both high humidity and high temperature what can be the effect on human comfort?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Heat may feel more uncomfortable

Humidity is the amount of water vapour present in the air. When temperature is high, the body normally cools itself by producing sweat. Sweat must evaporate from the skin to remove heat. High humidity leaves less scope for evaporation, so the body may not cool efficiently. As a result, the same temperature can feel hotter and more uncomfortable than it would in drier air.

Option A is correct because the combination of heat and moisture can increase discomfort and the feeling of heat. High humidity does not automatically increase cold, make rainfall impossible, or remove air. The question asks about human comfort, so the reasoning should focus on sweating and evaporation rather than on unrelated effects of humidity.
