... isn't it the other way around?

Nope. You lose heat by evaporation of water on your skin. If the air is too humid, water can evaporate worse and worse.

That's why heat in the Sahara is easier to handle than in the amazon forest.

OK, but I'm not talking about making your body temperature drop, I'm talking about feeling cooler. Doesn't having more stuff in the breeze make it feel cooler?

I don't know what else to tell you other than "evaporation makes it feel colder".
