Specific heat
So while trying to consider a quantum problem in the back of my brain I all of a sudden had a brain fart concerning chemistry.
Humidity makes everything seem hotter. One of the reasons for this is that your sweat doesn't evaporate in moisture laden air. However, different matter can absorb different amounts of energy before its temperature raises as much. This is called specific heat. By adding water to the air the specific heat of the atmosphere rises and it can absorb more energy before the temperature raises one degree. So while it may be the same temp, it has more enery. Your body then absorbs more energy from the air than it did before, and your specific heat hasn't changed so more energy makes your body temperature higher.
