its like thick and hot. even if its cool outsude, it feels thick and warm, which is the moisture in the humidity.

Go into the bathroom and turn on the shower, full hot water, and let it run for 10 minutes with the door closed. Wait outside for the 10 minutes. At the end of the ten minutes, open the bathroom dor and walk in. This is what humidity feels like, and is what it normally feels like at street level in New York city when you leave an air-conditioned building in the summer.

80 degrees in New York feels about the same as 110 degrees in Arizona.

Wet.

Run the shower on hot for a minute in the bathroom with the door closed. The air will be humid. If you instead turned on the heat for about 15 minutes, then the air will be dry. You'll be able to feel the difference between the two, especially if you are standing there with your clothes on.

Humidity makes it feel hotter becuse your sweat doesnt as readily evaporate in a dry environment. Sweating is the bodies cooloing mechanism.

oh my god it's miserable! i live in pittsburgh, it get's very humid. humidity makes the air sticky, it's hard to breathe and it makes my curly hair frizzy.

its sorta like fog, but its hot and makes me sweat like crazy.

and it messes up your hair, cause humidity has water in it. its almost like the lightest lightest lightest mist in the air, and it just stays there.

everyday i look up how humid itll be the next day, and if its high, i wear my hair up. :/

i live in texas. humidity central.

It feels like your bathroom does after you take a really hot shower with the door closed. It's like breathing through a warm washcloth. You hate the person next to you for breathing your air...

such a difference. I'd take 105 degrees of dry heat over 80 w/ humidity any day. You feel like you need to shower constantly, your clothes get wet from sweat, your makeup runs b/c your face gets greasy, your hair flattens and then frizzes, everything is an effort, even breathing.

I live in NC the southeastern part. We have swamps so its usually humid. It feels very heavy like the air is thick. High humidity makes people feel hotter outside in the summer because it reduces the effectiveness of sweating to cool the body by preventing the evaporation of perspiration from the skin. So it makes it feel hotter than the actual temp. I'm glad for the A.C and we try to stay indoors as much as we can.

Feels like your trapped inside a sauna. Ever walk into the bathroom after someone just had a hot shower and the air is damp, hot thick and heavy?.... That's humidity... thank god for AC.

It's like being in the shower or a sauna, where you never stop sweating and it's even hard to breathe sometimes. Dry heat really is more comfortable.

Humidity feels like somebody has wrapped you in a blanket and is spraying it with warm water constantly. It's a steam bath that soaks you through and through and tires you out. Give me dry desert heat anytime.

It's when your clothing clings to your body and you become overly sweaty, in a very uncomfortable way. It also becomes stuffy, which makes breathing difficult.

It makes your skin damp and sticky like what the bathroom is like after a hot shower and it's hard to breathe.

It's like if someone just took a very hot shower with the bathroom door closed and you walked in immediately after. That's what humid feels like. It horrible!

Southern California rarely but occasionally has a hot, humid day (i once suffered from one), and has lots of humid days in the winter. Imagine a wintertime storm BEFORE the front passes - your skin feels a bit clammy, right? Now imagine how that clamminess and stickyness would be at summer temperatures. You cannot lose your perspiration because the air is so saturated, your underwear and shirt get wet with your sweat and it feels just oppressive.

It feels like you haven't showered, even if you did. Sweaty bangs and all-around grossness.
