That's another simple question on another hot weather feeling. At a same temperature and humidity and all that you want, do you feel hotter or cooler when the wind blows? For example, if it's 95 °F (35 °C) in the shade outside, and if the wind blows at approximatively 25 km/h, do you think the wind makes the heat even worse than if the air was perfectly still or, in contrary makes the heat more comfortable than if the air had no movement? Personnally, when I travelled in some hot desert during the height of summer, the constant but moderated winds seemed to make me feel hotter than the official air temperature taken in the shade, like a sorta hair-dryer effect with the hot air blowing into my face as though I put my head in front of an oven or a furnace! It was a really amazing sensation, like a reverse wind chill! Do you guys feel the same thing as me or not?
How are you so pale? Never seen any Indian that pale before.
I have inherited my dad's skin tone. My dad is from the western ghats where its comfortable and cloudy 9 months a year. Hence, he has a light skin tone just like me.
When I've been in some hot deserts such as the Sahara desert in the past, I really enjoyed the hot, dry and windy conditions. In the desert, the air is so dry that your perspiration quickly evaporates, and you'll not really notice you sweat but you sweat very very much, and you lose a lot of liquid water without noticing it. The presence of desert winds aggravates the perspiration evaporation. These dry, dessicating winds will make you feel as though you were in a giant, powerful hair-dryer. So, don't believe you won't sweat or you won't get hot because it's a dry heat. It's not the sweating itself but the evaporation of the sweat that cools us. Honestly, I'd like to live in a desert city that gets hot in summer (more than 40 °C (104 °F)) like Las Vegas, Phoenix, Yuma, Tucson or Aswan, Luxor, Sohag, Asyut or others to experience this really good and amazing summer sensation with the dry air that evaporates the lesser liquid water amount.

If it was windy and hot out and the humidity was low, it would make it feel cooler than what the temperatures actually is while if it was hot, windy and humid, it would make the heat worse than it already is. The windiest months in Phoenix, Arizona are July and May. May is hot and often windy but the humidity is low during May so it can actually feel quite pleasant especially in the morning and evening hours, while in July the humidity is higher in association with the summer monsoon, and the higher humidity makes the heat feel oppressive, and the wind usually makes it worse.
