Seems weird. It's 29C and 61% right now and feels like a normal spring day. We've only just come out of winter and things aren't very warm yet. It's at it's worst when it's in the 40s and so humid, it storms for 15 mins every few hours. Some people will be active, but most will just sit around drinking beer.
That's only a wet bulb temperature of around 23°C. I'm hot, but fully functional, in those sorts of temperatures. I've personally worked, at full tilt, though 42°C heat, while out in Dubai. At the same time 30°C can leave me useless in the UK. The humidity difference has a huge effect.
