When humidity is high, the air is already saturated with moisture, which reduces the evaporation rate of sweat from our skin. Sweating is our body's primary cooling mechanism, and if sweat can't evaporate efficiently, it limits our ability to cool down. As a result, we may feel hotter and more uncomfortable in humid conditions, despite sweating.
