BC,

I was thinking of the cold case there with windchill giving an added cooling effect.  If you are actively sweating, then yes there will be more evaporation as the humidity goes down.

I think that we're all agreed that we'd like to see the real data and not some non-linear interpretation of the data projected on to the same scale as the original data.
