Of course and vice versa.

If the air is dry, any liquid on your skin will evaporate almost immediately and cool you down. Just transpiring a little bit will make you cold.

If it's too humid, no matter how much you transpire, the sweat will not evaporate and you'll soon sit in a puddle without any cooling effect.
