The lower the humidity the more efficient evaporative cooling is. These data centers don’t use traditional AC.

- yellowapple 7y agoThis is, as it so happens, why we sweat "more" in higher humidity (given a constant temperature relative to a non-humid atmosphere), and why humidity adds to perceived temperature. We're actually still sweating either way, but when the air's already humid there's nowhere for that sweat to go, so it stays on your body (and with it, the heat it was supposed to wick away).
