LYRICS
Oh, Baby
Can’t you see
It’s not the heat
It’s the humidity
(Likely both to some degree)
Need to cool down
Find out how to dry things out
Drowning in drought
Bound…
… to cool things down
Saturation seeks evaporation
Got to sweat it out
Oh, Baby, can you believe
There’s no belief we’ll get relief
Found we’ve unwound
Need to cool down
Find out how to dry things out
Drowning in drought
Bound…
… to cool things down
Saturation seeks evaporation
Got to sweat it out
Though heat is hot
It’s not all we’ve got
There’s plenty of humidity
Pushin’ up “feels like” degree
Need to cool down
Find out how to dry things out
Drowning in drought
Bound…
… to cool things down
Saturation seeks evaporation
Got to sweat it out
Saturation in need of evaporation

During July of 2023, much of the world was suffering through a heatwave. June and July saw hundreds of new record temperatures. Some of the days were also extremely humid. Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
Sweating is essential to cooling down when hot weather causes the body temperature to climb. “Sweat is one of the main ways the body cools itself. But on a humid day, sweat has a harder time evaporating into the air.’ In high humidity, the air is already nearly full of water vapor and can’t hold any more. “That’s where the hot, sticky feeling comes from,” explains Dr. Benjamin of Health Partners.
When water evaporates, it turns from liquid to a gas which requires the transfer of a huge amount of energy. In our experiment from 2003 “The Waterfall House” and “The Economics of Turning Water Into Electricity“, Sidd found, “for every cubic foot of water that evaporated it took 61000 BTU with it.”
