EGADS! I never believed that "dry heat" feels cooler than humid heat till I realized that dry air has room for sweat to evaporate into it!

I would think it would be the opposite... Dry air has nothing BUT room for sweat to evaporate into. 
Yeah, so humid air requires a breeze to cool you via evaporation, but dry air just absorbs the sweat off you and cools you right off.
Oh... wait... I added a "not" in my brain when I read your post... I'm an ijit ... sorry
