I was going to say humid heat isn't bad, enjoyed this morning's humid heat. But it was 78°F with a dew point of 67°F at the most, not quite heat.

78F is very warm but yeah, probably not truly hot.

I don't have to be there. Looking up stats to prove you wrong is just a click away, but arguing with an ignorant person like yourself is a waste of my time, so I'll refrain from it.

Actually, I was a bit off. The recorded high was 100.9°F, not 100.0°F.

The NWS reports temperatures to the nearest °F, so I'm a bit puzzled by the extra digit.

Don't need to be. Do you have any idea on the dew point or heat index that would produce?
158F heat index! It's ridiculous that you would even think you experienced that.

You may have had a day that recorded 100°F and 80% each at some point in the day. But you certainly did not experience 100°F and 80% humidity at the same time. That has never been recorded in the US.

I'm a little confused because I am not familiar with Greece's climate. How can you have dry heat with humid nights?

One July I visited a friend who lives in southern Utah. It was dry around the clock. The days were hot (100+) but I found that the hotter sunny day dry heat temperature was more comfortable than sunny, 85 and humid is home on Long Island.

It was so dry in Utah that we had to use saline spray in our nostrils to keep things moist. My creaky joints felt much better in dry Utah.

4) Places with dry heat are very smug about how "comfortable" it supposedly is.
5) It feels like you are being microwaved. Humid heat at a slightly lower temperature, say 85F humid vs 100F dry, just feels gross and sticky.

Does anyone agree?
That's bull!
