Humidity was certainly a factor here today. It was just over 36 C (95 F) here in Toronto today, but 47 C (116 F) humidex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidex)... and I'm in CANADA (where it's supposed to be cooler than that... eh)!!! We had an extreme heat alert, a smog advisory and a humidex warning (by various public agencies). Stepping outside from air conditioning was like opening the door to an oven... and we set a record for power consumption today too (with all the air conditioners working overtime). Nasty.
Which is worse? I'd take a dry heat of 36C over today's weather here anytime...
