The way your body cools in the heat is to perspire. The evaporation of perspiration carries the heat away from your body, cooling you down. If it's too humid, the sweat wont evaporate, so you aren't getting rid of your excess body heat.

Even if it is hot, as long as the place is dry it's okay. If a place is too hot, the body cools by perspiration, if the place is humid, your sweat will not evaporate from your body. Instead of letting you cool down, it traps the heat inside of your body making you feel hotter

Humidity, or dampness in the air tends to feel hotter. The air is thicker and it is more energy sapping than dry heat.

Depending on where you are born depends on wheather or not you have adapted to such weather conditions making it seem bearable to you and unbearable to others.
