unlivealy hot and wet [0]. Some people indeed think that the high humidity combined with a >33C temperature will soon be the leading cause of death in SE Asia, SE india, tropical africa as well as Florida, coastal georgia and SC[1]. I' disagree (or rather, i'm not quite as pestimistic) but the ;ortality in some area indeed get higher with humidity in summer
