Because when the air is hot if you breath it in it will make you sweat more and then all the water in your body will make sweat and you will dehydrate

What is more comfortable - high humidity or low humidity?
A day with low humidityLow humidity. High humidity will prevent sweat from evaporating and hence make you feel warmer.

low
Which is more comfortable for liguid painting with high humidity or low humidity?
low humidity! it's more comfterbal and is better for letting the paint dry
What is humidity What is the name of the instrument that measures it Which is more comfortable a day with high humidity or with low humidity?
Humidity is dampness in the air. The intrument that measures it is a hygrometer, and a day with low humidity is more comfortable because its easier to breath
Why high humidity makes us feel hotter in hot weather?
One of our body's mechanisms to cool us down is to sweat. In a low humidity environment the sweat can evaporate, absorbing extra heat from our body to help cool it. In high humidity, it is much more difficult - or impossible - for the sweat to evaporate and thus we can't get the benefit of the evaporative cooling.

Does more humidity mean more sweating?
More humidity does not necessarily mean more sweating, it just means there is more moisture in the air. Usually places with a lot of humidity also has a high average temperature, such as tropical islands.
Does rain occurs when humidity is high or low?
Both, it just is more likely to rain when the humidity is higher.
Why do you feel hotter hotter when relative humidity is high?
Because the more pecentage of the Humidity the more saturated the air so clean air can get to you.
Which area would you expect to have more rain?
An area that has very high humidity.
How are temperature and dew point associated?
The closer they are together the more humid it is.
How humidity affects the water cooling process?
When water can evaporate, the absorption of heat by the vaporizing water adds a significant amount of cooling. When the ambient humidity is already high, less water can evaporate before the air become saturated with water vapor and consequently cooling is more difficult. When ambient humidity is low, more water can evaporate before the air becomes saturated with water vapor - and thus more cooling can occur for the same flow rate of water.
