Its called humidity & heat index you idiot. You don't need PJ in here to answer this one.

I know what it is but when I was growing up it was 95 degrees and that was it. This feels like shite is ludicrous, oweo when's the last time you felt a 107 degrees?

Probably last summer. As for as when you were growing up.. There was a time when there were no vehicles then there were technological advancements then all of a sudden people were allowed to drive places. Its sort of like that.. Technological advancements allow them to retrieve more data than the time when you were growing up.. Thats my guess.

Humidity means your sweat will not evaporate as quickly and you can't cool yourself off as well. So its 93 outside, but you cool yourself off like you would in a dry 107.

Humid air also holds more heat and transmits heat faster than dry air.
In dry air you can get out of the sun and be cooler. In really humid conditions the temp will be nearly the same in the shade as in the sun.
The highest air temperature survivable by humans was recorded at over 500 degrees Fahrenheit. But that air had no humidity.
As for wind chill, being in cold air may cause your body temp to decrease. But the faster the air is moving across you the faster your body temp will drop.
With no wind or humidity you may be perfectly comfortable in subzero temps. But you can get hypothermia in 50 degrees with high winds and humidity.

I can attest that this sucks.
The other morning at the top of lake michigan, the temp dropped into the 40s and the rain and wind picked up.
I had to pack up our campsite in shorts and a tshirt. By the time I finished, I couldn't figure out my truck's remote to unlock the doors.
It may sound silly, but I have never experienced something ike that.

I've experienced India Monsoon. Thankfully only 1 day was it super terrible but it made any day in Louisiana seem silly.
Hypothermia from water is a big deal. What we call "warm" water can get you to hypothermia, since 80 degree water is almost 20 degrees below body temperature.

How come the heat index and the wind chill factor can only make the weather worse? Why can't it be 95 outside, but a breeze and low humidity make it 'feel' like 93? Is it purely weather sensationalism for TV or something? What happens in 25 years when the heat index isn't enough? Do we add in carbon emissions and emotion tallies of city's?
Today is 89 degrees, but it's doom and gloom in LA today with the human suckage factor!
