What's the worse : 34°C with 42°C (heat index) or 39°C with 44°C (heat index) ? (temperature, humidity)

1 vote for 32/42 should be the other - I accidentally did the one I would prefer instead which one is worse.

[istanbulmert]

No difference between them.Both are liveable without any problem.

Does 32°C air temperature with 42°C heat-index like more steamy and muggy than 39°C air temperature with 44°C heat-index ?

[trlhiker]

Obviously the higher temp and higher heat index would be worse.

32-42 has higher dew point than 39-44.

32°C with a Heat Index of 42°C would result in a dewpoint of 27.1°C (relative humidity 75%)

39°C with a Heat Index of 44°C would result in a dewpoint of 20.3°C (relative humidity 34%)

So i think the latter is more bearable

Is this some sort of trick question?

[Caleb Yeung]

Factoring into dew points I say the first one.
