I'm with WR... when it's 106F and you can feel the sun killing individual skin cells, the only strategy is to stay as wet as possible at all times, and a base layer is just more fabric between the air and the sweat.

Just to bring things around a little bit: I'm not disputing the use in heat, I'm questioning the use in humidity. There's a point at which your sweat won't evaporate and just seems to cling to you like a warm wet blanket. I don't necessarily want to be wrapped in that when I'm already growing gills to breathe the summer air.
