Reply to comment by s0rce in How does high humidity affect perceived temperature in hot and cold environments? by MindTheReddit
Yeah that’s exactly what happens. Where I live in Canada, in the summer there is the air temperature, and then there is the ‘humidex value’. So it can be 25 degrees Celsius but with the humidity it will “feel like” 30 degrees Celsius. It gets dangerous when the air temperature is already in the 30 degree range and the humidity makes it feel closer to 40 or higher. Then we get heat warnings for people to be careful because you can get heat stroke pretty easily.
