Reply to comment by [deleted] in How does high humidity affect perceived temperature in hot and cold environments? by MindTheReddit
Since you mention comfort, I would like to add that while this isn’t related to the perception of temperature, extremely dry and hot environments can feel more uncomfortable than humid and hot ones.
Because the dry hot air dehydrates you very quickly, especially your throat and nose get dry in a matter of minutes, it feels very uncomfortable and is (in my own opinion) worse than a hot humid climate.
