      The problem with humid heat is that it doesn’t give a fuck about shade. Europe in general is humid.

      When it is humid, there’s barely a difference of temperature between shaded areas and unshaded ones.

      When it is dry, all you gotta do is find some shade and temperature drops fast, to the point where you might even have to wear a jacket because it’s too cold. That doesn’t happen with high humidity.

        Not to mention with high humidity your own bodies cooling is compromised. Fans don’t help as much either. At a certain temp/humidity, people just die unless they get to a climate controlled room.
