How hot is that in the rest of the world?
Man, come on. The ONLY time imperial makes some decent sense is temperature: for humans, 0 is really cold and 100 is really hot.
Edit: for anyone metric having a cow here, I am pro-metric. All I'm trying to say is that of all the hairbrained measurements in imperial, temperature is the least hairbrained.
100 is unacceptably hot. Nobody can live in that for long.
86f peak temperature with 35% humidity? Tolerable. Especially when the sun goes down and the temp drops but the humidity stays lower than like 55%.
But the next day of 95f peak temp followed by 76f nadir with 70% humidity overnight? People without A/C die. The homeless die.
Small world views. Places have hotter temps than that and more rural communities and do fine.
Not doubting your comment, but it is just localised to wherever you sourced that.
Temperature isn't everything. Humidity (as awful as a measurement it is) matters significantly more.
At least humidity makes sense. 0% is dry, 100% is " the air is full"
