Answer
Latent heat is the energy associated with the condensation of vapor on cold surface or evaporation of liquid from warm surface.
Latent heat loss from a human body increases as (a) the skin wetness increases and (b) the relative humidity of the environment decreases.
The rate of evaporation from the body equals to evaporative mass flow rate times latent heat of vaporisation of water at skin temperature.
