Body temperature regulation...

[Externet]

Hi.

 

The thermal emission from our bodies at about 37°C warms up the air next to the skin.

What happens when the ambient temperature is like 40°C and beyond as in some regions ?

 

Does the body 'mechanism' go into cooling or into stop heating ? Where is the excess heat 'dumped to' ? Would the air layer next to the skin be cooler than the ambient ?

people sweat. water evapourating in non-100% humidity conditions will be colder than the ambient air temperature to to the latent heat of phase change. sometimes much colder.
