On a warm summer day when the relative humidity is high, it may seem even warmer than the actual temperature. Why do we feel so uncomfortable on these muggy days?

Answer:

Condensing

Step-by-step explanation:

Water density in the air is too high for condensation to occur and so you feel warm, sweaty, and sticky due to the added moisture on your body.

Evaporation, our bodies produce sweat which regulates our body temperature, however that only works if the sweat evaporates. Which doesn’t happen or at least as much on high humidity days which is the reasons we feel muggy and uncomfortable.
