Thanks for explaining how you can weld in hot places.
Damp your clothes and get evaporative cooling...

I was working in Cleveland, Ohio, 25 years ago, and the summers were
about 35degC (90-high-something Farenheit?) and 90-something % humidity.

What onlookers didn't know seeing me working in that metal casting
foundry is that as the temperature goes up the relative humidity must
surely go down (same amount of water and the temperature has gone up, so
the ability to hold water must go up - which means relative humidity
lower?).  For sure if you worked hard you got white salt stains on your
T-shirt.
