Why is the humidity higher in summer?

In summer, people are generally greedy for cold. If they suddenly stop sweating and sweat comes out of their clothes, it will stop the moist qi in the meridians and bones in the body. Over time, when moisture enters the body, they will have symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, listlessness and poor complexion.

Summer is not only hot, but also often rains. When heat is evaporating and humidity is moving, the space is full of humidity. At this time, the human body is most vulnerable to "summer-dampness disease". Summer-dampness disease is a common exogenous disease in summer, and its symptoms are fever, aversion to cold, excessive sweating, dizziness and headache, nausea and diarrhea, white and greasy tongue coating and rapid pulse.
