It's more damp — being changeable, as it were (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sweatier

'it's more damp' is the definition.
(sweaty can mean damp)

'changeable as it were' is the wordplay.
'changeable' indicates anagramming the letters.
'as'+'it'+'were'='asitwere'
'asitwere' is an anagram of 'SWEATIER'.

'being' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
