Temperature of surrounding falls during or after the heavy shower. Why?

Temperature of any medium or object falls when it loses the heat. After the heavy shower, water absorbs heat from the surrounding air. Water has high specific heat capacity (i.e. the quantity of heat required by unit mass for the unit rise of temperature)  so water absorbs large amount heat from the surrounding without much rise in it's own temperature. Hence, temperature falls.
