    30c (or 86 in Freedom Units) can be ideal outside if the air is dry. Unfortunately, I live in a part of the world where summers are humid, so I feel this meme. Just getting inb4 someone from a desert goes on about how we have nothing to complain about because it’s 40+ wherever they live. Humidity counts for a lot.

    Side note, I just realized that the abbreviation for “Freedom Units” is “FU.” Which seems oddly appropriate.

      The people need to take high humidity more seriously. The difference between low and high humidity while sit in the shade with the fan and the lack of clothing can be a hot summer’s day and certain death.

      I somehow managed to be born in a humid place that regularly gets to 100° fahrenheit. I gotta get out of here before it becomes literally unlivable. Already would be without AC tbh

      Yeah 36 is our yearly average.

      Unfortunately for 6 months of that it’s humid as fuck and closer to 40 and it’s miserable.

      Go to places where it hits 45 and no humidity and it’s hot but it’s better then 38 with 98 percent humidity
