The heat index is bullshit

[ToyTundra 10+ year member]

It was created for east coasters to be able to throw around high temperatures even though it isn't really that hot out. Weather info is notorious for this. They often state the heat index during heat waves instead of air temperatures

I'll admit that high humidity is very uncomfortable, but it cannot be related to a high air temp. The conditions feel completely different. Humidity gives a wet feeling from your sweat sitting on your skin. Straight up high temps are like opening an oven, it hurts, but you'll stay relatively dry.

Not the same. State the temp and humidity if it is notable.

Ive been in 110+ degree weather out west...and it doesn't even compare to the 100 degree weather coupled with high humidity out here in the southeast. I work outside all summer long and I break into a full sweat just walking to my car. Its terrible

None of the hot weather or humidity goes well with being overweight either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Shit, I'd trade 100 degrees 0% humidity for 90 with 90% humidity any day. You obviously have never worked outside in the southeast at this time of year.
Let me dumb it down for you. When the body overheats it sweats to cools itself and evaporates the sweat carrying the heat with it. When it's humid outside it doesn't evaporate the sweat as easily since the air has a lot of moisture already in it leaving the heat on the body.
