Water is air soluable.
It's just like how salt will disappear in water without needing to get hot enough to melt.
Though both of them still need the thermal energy to do the state change, but they just borrow it from their neighbours.

Those are the little water goblins stealing your moisture while nobody's looking.
If water turns into gas at 100 degrees, how come I can pour it into a mug?

Anon forgot that temperature in a substance is not uniform. This normally doesn't matter, but if a part becomes hotter than the boiling point it will leave before it has a chance to go back to average temperature. So yes, the water went to "212" before evaporating.
