80 with 95% humidity. 110 F can't be compared to 80 F regardless of humidity. 90 F with 80% humidity would be a better comparison.

They're totally different sensations. 30 with high humidity is wet and sticky and grose feeling, while 43 with little humidity feels like your bones are baking. It's quite a nice feeling, provided you can have a fan and a spray bottle of water.

SFX, that's the upper limit of normal temps in several Australian cities. (hotter in the desert) There would be a total of 3-7 days a year that are that hot in the old days. Of course, now it gets hotter and stays that way for longer.

I can handle 80 F with 95 % humidity if its drizzling with wind like today.
