Actually yeah.

  1. Get dry.
  2. Get into an air stream like a fan

Your perspiration into dry air has an evolved cooling effect. It’s the same principle used by the ‘zeer’ pot to keep stuff cool in high temps with no electricity (and that’s a freaking magic trick, lemme tell ya).

But, now see why the rising “wet bulb” temp is an issue in the lower US and toward the equator with the rising temps: if it doesn’t evaporate, you’re in trouble.
