Water molecules in the air that strike our bodies transfer some of their kinetic energy to us. This is because the water molecules bump into and transfer some of their energy to the molecules in our skin. This is what makes us feel damp on muggy days. Water molecules do not form an insulating layer on our bodies, nor do they gain kinetic energy as they change phase (i.e. from gas to liquid).
