This summer has been exceptionally hot on account of a drastic collapse of the thermosphere. It isn't just the 100% humidity, it's the barrage of what is called extreme gamma rays, which are normally blocked because of the thermosphere. The usual output of heat out of a square meter of ground is around 1050 watts, but because of the penetration of extreme gamma radiation it is more like 1,400 watts per square meter. I can feel it and I didn't know what was the difference until I read about it If you notice, it feels like an oven even when you go out in the shade. I don't burn, but I have experienced a sunburn even through my tan, working in the sun. I finally decided that I have to do my grass cutting in the early morning or late afternoon, now, and wouldn't let my boys work either, except at those times.
Even riding is not as much fun, because the humidity is as Kyle stated and the temp hovering around 100 to 103, with an index upward of 110 - 115. I would rather be in 105 heat in Arizona, than 95 here in La. or Houston. But as long as one keeps moving, it's cool enough. I know - hard to do in city traffic...

Heat index of 110 with 100% humidity is pretty rough. I winter I can put on more clothes, in summer I still gotta wear my helmet, pants, and jacket.
