OK after experiencing this (and savoring the experience so I could really, really speak with authority on this), I have reached a huge conclusion.
I think that weather stations lie to us about the whole "feels like" (fill in the blank) thing. For instance, today my local weather source says "High of 95, will feel like 110." Then for Midland, TX, with significantly lower humidity, it said, "95, feels like 92."
OK I've got news for all the weather folks out there. WHEN IT IS 95 DEGREES IT IS FREAKING HOT, I DON'T CARE WHERE YOU ARE. It feels every bit of 95 degrees. Now - can humidity make it feel even hotter in some ways? Yes, BUT do not believe the "95, feels like 92." Nope. It feels like Satan's backside out there when it's 95, any way you slice it.
I got so aggravated yesterday. While I was snorkeling the dang sea turtles kept creeping up on me, one after another, causing repeated major 'startle attacks' - my brain kept screaming 'it could have been a Tiger Shark', did Not see these huge critters coming til I could almost touch them, ruined my attempt at having a peaceful morning in the sea, ugh.

I know. They could have been more considerate and left the sea, caught a Uber to your place, and watched some Netflix until you arrived back home.
Right now in SW Florida at 9 a.m. it is 84 degrees and with the 74% humidity the "feels like" temperature is already 93 friggin' degrees. We have 4-5 months of this before the first "cool front" comes in around October or so.

I know what you mean - here in NE Texas it is 82 and "feels like" 90 and it's 8:15 am. Though our high today is forecast to be "only" 91, it's supposedly going to "feel" like 98. Oh well, it's summer time in Texas, why am I surprised?
Speaking of first world problems and October though, though, you know what I hate? I hate trying to figure out how to dress for Halloween! Am I going to be too hot? Or too cold? You never can tell around here. I clearly remember sweating my arse off one year wearing a stupid wig and dressed like a gypsy, and then one year I was dressed like a pirate wench and went around freezing. And I hate to ruin a perfectly good costume with a 21st century coat.
At the grocery store, in a self-checkout line, a woman was scanning and bagging her order while at the same time talking on her phone. Ok, she was quite a gymnast. But then, she'd stop scanning/bagging for 10-15 seconds, and just talk/listen to her phone. Then resume her bagging. Few seconds later, she'd stop and repeat the scenario above. GRRRR! People behind me were staring daggers at her. She didn't care.

Exactly, while we are not even allowed to Touch them (much less Eat them like folks used to), they are free to just terrorize us willy-nilly in Their own home, you would think they could be a tad more hospitable - show some Aloha!!
Another big problem in my life now, my new iRobot mop takes Two Whole Hours to recharge the battery! So now I have to wait and wait to have each room in our place mopped by this primitive - must be the beta version- thingy, sigh.

My fitness watch takes forever! I'm like, "I'm not gonna take steps if I don't get credit for it." So I sat until it fully charged. I'll show them.
