> Well what is often forgotten is that humidity is just as big of a culprit as the temperature of the air. Hot but dry air can be tolerated much easier than colder but more humid air. I hear this a lot but my experience is different. Humid weather is annoying because it makes you sweat more. However, spending a few minutes at 35C in Beijing (where the air is extremely dry) I would like I'm about to burst into flames and can't breathe. At over 35C in Thailand I would only be annoyed with the weather if I had to spend significant time outside.
