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