As a Brazilian who’s also experienced with a hot climate, I’d say this would work if anthropogenic climate change weren’t leading to… wet bulb… high temperatures. When current temperatures are 40°C and the air’s relative humidity is practically 100%, no amount of wetting or sweating will get rid of the warmth, because evaporation can’t happen when the air is already saturated.

Good point, I suppose the Aussie solution works best in a hot and DRY climate.
