Meanings
・Unpleasantly high humidity. Sweating uncomfortably.
Examples

・The air conditioner is set at a high temperature and I’m sweating so hard that my skin is muggy on my forehead and my makeup is about to fall off.
エアコンの設定温度が高くて、ひたいにじっとり汗をかいて、化粧が落ちそう。
Dogmatic Opinion
Basically, the sweat appears to be oozing.
It is also not sweating due to exercise, but rather the image of sweating under conditions of high humidity, temperature, and room temperature.
Not enough perspiration to flow down, but stays on the skin and is uncomfortable.
Proximate Expression
muggy
sweaty
sticky weather
