My understanding is you sweat about the same for both, but when it is humid, it cannot evaporate from your skin as much, so you stay wetter. When the humidity is down, the sweat evaporates. I also think the sweat evaporates more easily when you're moving. I sweat more (i.e., get wetter) after I stop.

That stinks.
Ride home yesterday was hot. These hot afternoon rides start off really bad and difficult to get a good deep breath. But then once I get away from the traffic and rolling at a decent speed it gets better.
Less humid for the ride in this morning: 76F and 72%. I woke up feeling a bit queasy at the stomach. A few bathroom visits and some rest helped. I took it slow coming in and felt okay, but still being careful with what and how much I eat.
