Humidity/Comfort Level Question
Can someone tell me why it feels so close here in Essex tonight ? I thought
that was linked to humidity - but the RH is only 40% and temp is 31.4 - feels like pea-soup. You can almost feel the air as you pass through it ? Can someone please tell me why this is ? Many thanks, Mark. |

You can almost feel the air as you pass through it ? Can someone please tell me why this is ? I think comfort (or the lack of it) is best measured by the dew-point in hot weather. Any dewpoint of around 16C or above feels uncomfortable to most. Last night my room reached 29.5C & 60% RH - dewpoint of over 20C. Felt like a bloody sauna.  Fortunately it cooled down fairly quickly, though. -- Paul Hyett, Cheltenham, England |
