this doesn’t factor in the “feels like” temp. Florida is a LOTTT worse than other places because it’s very swampy and humid which makes your body unable to sweat to cool itself down.
I visited new Orleans for like a week a few years ago and was like “damn you bitches just get to live like this?? you can actually go outside?!” even though it was like 90°+
Yeah, I’ve been in the Mojave in the summer, and yeah, it’s hot during the day, but when the sun goes down it cools off. I live in Jersey (best state!) and when it’s 95° and 100% humidity, there is just no escape, day and night.
I’ve only gotten glasses like a year and a half ago and haven’t visited father than Georgia in that time. I thought that was like an experience that happens no matter where you are. TIL.
That can’t be true. You shouldn’t sweat less in humid heat. If anything, you should sweat more in humid heat because your sweat isn’t able to evaporate and cool you off.
Perhaps you could get dehydrated more easily in dry heat just because you don’t notice the water loss as quickly since you stay drier longer. However, I would wager that if you hold air temp, exposure time, and activity level constant, then higher humidity would lead to greater water loss.

Humidity is killer. I’ve lived in Vegas during the summers, and New Jersey.
When it feels like you’re swimming in the air, it’s so much worse!

Shhh, we can’t let everyone know NJ is the best state, they might come here, and we’re already so packed!
If more people come…actually, maybe we’d get actual public transport then, if it gets that crowded. Hmmm…
I live in PA and experienced humidity so bad that my glasses fogged up when I stepped outside. It was awful.
it… doesn’t do that… everywhere?

Lol nah. I have only had it happen once in my 20 years of glasses. It was also 95F with 98% humidity. I was outside for 5 mins and almost passed out.
That happens frequently if I go from AC to outside and it’s always a pain! Stupid human eyeballs, needing glasses to see!

I live in dry heat. I have lived in humid heat as well. Not sure what you mean.
