If they leave around here, yep, I do! (Good to see you back Jimmy!)
-
Yes. I have lived in tropical humid places and the heat definitely feels a lot heavier although the thermometer may have the same temp as somewhere with dry heat.
-
Only in Houston.
-
Yes, humidity makes a big difference.
-
Well hello again Jimmy, I would say yess because there is a difference between heat and humidity. I'd rather have heat then humidity any day.
-
Of course, it's true. Or at least, partly true Dry heat doesn't feel as bad as humid heat. Just like "wind chill" for cold, there is also a term for the subjective feel of heat and humidity but I'm blowed if I can remember what it is. To be more accurate, you should say it's not JUST the heat. It's also the humidity.
-
Yes in some places. I have been in places where the water runs down the windows like a waterfall and the air is like a wet blanket.
-
It makes me laugh that they can assume they know what part is bothering me. Or the fact they do not think I am smart enough to know the difference. Life is sometimes an adventure in laughter.
-
Yes, when it comes to my mothers breathing problems.
-
heat is heat, but yeah there's quite a difference between a dry heat and a humid heat. Places with high humidity makes people feel hotter because it reduces the effectiveness of sweating to cool the body by preventing the evaporation of perspiration from the skin because there is so much water vapour in the air. The difference is most noticeable in the shade, where in high humidity areas it remains very hot in the shade where in dry places, the temperature difference is very noticeable. So it is the heat that makes you feel hot, but the humidity makes it more uncomfortable.

Here in the north, absolutely.
-
Yes, I do. humidity causes sultriness sometimes, laong with hot air.
-
I live in Alabama the answer is YES!
-
In part... it's both! But I gotta tell ya. I wouldn't trade Arizona dry heat for Florida humidity either so. 100 degrees in the shade sucks no matter how you slice it.
-
if my hair is all frizzy than i'll believe its the humidity.
-
Yes
-
Yes, dry heat feels cooler.
-
yes thats true, humidity makes one sweat hell lot more. BTW, i hate both
-
A little. For me though, it's the heat AND the humidity. I don't like either one. It's been very humid (and hot) for quite a while now. I stay inside. :-)
-
Yes, I've lived in both kinds of weather, dry and humid. It's true that when it's hot and dry above 110-115 it's just too darned hot, but when it's in the 90s with high humidity, that's hard to deal with as well, especially if you have breathing problems.

7-12-2017 In the Arizona desert it is not unusual to have daytime temperatures over 120F and the air so still that you have to move around so you don't drown in your own evaporated sweat. Inside you are very aware of the relative humidity rising above 10% and you start trying to arrange some circulation.
-
That's a myth..You can have high humidity at 35F.
-
It's one or the other, that's for sure.
