71F indeed CAN feel hot if the humidity is high and you are standing in the sun on a calm day. However 81F can feel cool if it is cloudy with a low dew point and you are covered with water. So my point stands. Both statements are equally ridiculous.

Who are you kidding?
The second condition is much more obscure than the first. Covered in water? Give me a break...I could just as easily say -270 F feel scorching...IF you are in outer space orbiting the Sun at a couple miles out.

71F can result in severe sunburn/sunstroke. 81F can feel chilly, but it's not going to hurt you. -big difference.
Sunburn, yes. Sunstroke? I find that hard to believe. Anyway sunburn is possible at below freezing temperatures so that is beside the point
I wouldn't be so sure of that. I've worked in places where people have needed medical treatment and been diagnosed with sunstroke with the classic symptoms. That was at temperatures that would have been around 71F. Many factors can cause sunstroke, not just temperature alone.
My point stands. A 22C warning of heat related conditions, is more feasible than a 81F warning of cold related conditions.
71 F is definitely closer to "hot" than 81 F is to "cold"
Anyways, isn't sunstroke related more to the sun angle rather than actual temperature? I'm sure if the sun is intense enough, you could get sunstroke at 50 F.
Hahaha!! Good lord NO! I'm talking about in January or February.
It's 81F here right now with 82% humidity.
