My house is currently getting remodeled in Austin where it has been over 100F the last few weeks. They don't have electricity, so not even fans. I asked them how they handle it and they said "you get used to it".
- eesmith 4y agoAccording to weather.com, the predicted humidity for when it will be 100F in Austin next, is only around 50-55%, giving a wet bulb temperature of around 30°C, which is below the 31°C from this study.
- ip26 4y agoFurther context: At that humidity level, Austin would reach the 35°C threshold at 110°F.
- mrits 4y agoOur mornings are very humid, often +80%. It tends to burnout late afternoon making hotter evenings actually more bearable than cooler early mornings IMO.
- happyraul 4y agoThe same amount of water in the air at a lower temperature is more humid than at a higher temperature. So as temperature rises, relative humidity tends to go down. Which is why air can feel so dry inside in winter.
