Humidity is killer. I've lived in Vegas during the summers, and New Jersey.

When it feels like you're swimming in the air, it's so much worse!

    Yeah, I've been in the Mojave in the summer, and yeah, it's hot during the day, but when the sun goes down it cools off. I live in Jersey (best state!) and when it's 95ยฐ and 100% humidity, there is just no escape, day and night.

    Shhh, we can't let everyone know NJ is the best state, they might come here, and we're already so packed!

    If more people come...actually, maybe we'd get actual public transport then, if it gets that crowded. Hmmm....

    I live in PA and experienced humidity so bad that my glasses fogged up when I stepped outside. It was awful.

    it... doesn't do that... everywhere?

    I've only gotten glasses like a year and a half ago and haven't visited father than Georgia in that time. I thought that was like an experience that happens no matter where you are. TIL.

    That can't be true. You shouldn't sweat less in humid heat. If anything, you should sweat more in humid heat because your sweat isn't able to evaporate and cool you off.

    Perhaps you could get dehydrated more easily in dry heat just because you don't notice the water loss as quickly since you stay drier longer. However, I would wager that if you hold air temp, exposure time, and activity level constant, then higher humidity would lead to greater water loss.
