The passage describes a person who went downstairs early in the morning to escape the extreme humidity in their upstairs room. While it was not much better downstairs, there was a door that could lead outside, which seemed to offer relief. However, before reaching the door, the person was already soaked in sweat from head to toe. They then decided to take a risky shortcut across the busy main highway in search of water from the nearby Fountain Square to beat the humidity, but found only more of the same - humidity and sweat.

Or so I thought: before I could go around the block to the main road I was soaking in sweat down to my toes.
