Why Does Humidity Make It Feel Hotter?

Error in the Video;the body temperature is actually 37.5 Degrees Celsius not 37

Dew points over 65° are sticky

FINALLY!!!! Someone explained how useless "relative humidity" is!

Absolutely hate humidity.

Celsius? Cmon.

hly shite. i moved from california to the midwest and my misery index is booming

Can a human train himself to get used to high humidity. I currently change my location. High temp is not a problem i get used to it but high humidity is killing me

I'm old enough to remember Farenheit in England but, for the past 30+ years, we've used Celsius, and I've become more familiar with that. It's great to see a simple explanation about humidity, plus explained in the 'international' standard of Celsius.

Can confirm humidity makes a MASSIVE difference. Summers in the midwest were absolutely unbearable even when it was 70 (which was rare, it was usually 90 - 105). 75F in humid Missouri genuinely felt like 90F in dry-summer Montana. Case in point, it's actually a little humid today here in Montana (60% humidity), and the 80F feels around 85F instead. But a few days ago it was 90F with only 15-20% humidity and that actually felt like 80, maybe even 1-2 degrees cooler.

Humidity sucks

Thank you so much, now I can sleep in peace

I don't understand why all these new videos use Celsius instead of Fahrenheit. It's like all of a sudden people started using Celsius and kilometers instead of Fahrenheit and miles. That's why i stopped watching these videos.

So in other words Texans should never go outside lol

my county is humid

dewpoint happens if ther is 100 percent relative humidity,,how can u hav dewpoint in ur lecture?

I Really hate this type weather climate 🤔😕😠...

Good man

humidity....

Please give me your personnel number

Watching this as it’s 100% humidity and the dew point is 73°

Im sitting in my fridge while watching this

People who live in Southeast Asia: 😎😎😎

It is currently 98% humidity outside with a temperature of 27C. This is criminal to have to work in

What’s Celsius

I'm watching this when the humidity here is 100%

Thanks , God the humidity in my country it low 😎😎

Wet bulb temperatures ?

I hate it 🥲😝

dew poit?

I work outside in GA I can’t really avoid it. But it’s usually not too bad but when I’ve come home showered and then walk back outside I can literally feel a wall of humidity and want back in my AC 😂

Me: "It's so damn hot!"
Some guy from southern US: "But it's only 30 degrees celsius, how is that too hot?"
Me: "30°C and 85% humidity. It's like living in the Amazon rain forest... In the middle of a pine forest."

Having lived 19 years in arizona you never get to cool off the sweat evaporates to quickly to really add any extra cooling vs anytime I was in the south the humidity allowed the sweat to stay and cool me off longer then back home in arizona

In my area at 10pm it is 83° with a dew point of 76°

35 is cold

How bout this humidity?
SMACK!

Dumb question so when water is on the ground and it's hot outside it evaporates and humanity is just water in the air so why doesn't the air evaporate into the sky am I dumb and I'm missing something obvious???

I’ll take a desert climate over a hot humid climate any day

I want that shirt.

Thanks 🙏

If you want to feel better come to Singapore

You explained many things I used to wonder about. However, I'm a little confused: doesn't humidity make the cold feel colder too? And when it's 18C and 100% humidity isn't the dew point also 18? So I'd expect it to be cold, and not "sticky and gross"??

My Meteorology professor said that humid air does not feel hotter only because it prevents your sweat from evaporating, instead it’s because water Vapor has a much higher heat capacity. Anybody know more about this?

Ayo thats hank green lol

Honestly humidity feels less hot in my opinion i grew up in hot humid houston texas and also lived in PHOENIX AZ for 1 year.... That dry stuffy ass heat in AZ kicked my ass....i could barley breathe in it......and it was still hot at 9 p.m. at night i was like "wtf" ....atleast in southern texas it cools down around 5 p.m.....but i guess it depends on your body....some peoples bodies are built for dry heat and some or not and some peoples bodies are built for humidity and other or not...

Yeah it feels like I'm sitting on soggy chairs when I sit down😂

Wouldn't absolute humidity be a better measurement to use than dew point?

You or good
