Why Humidity Makes You Feel Hotter

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2024
  • Ever wondered why weather forecasters give you a "feels like" temperature? Humidity can change how hot you actually feel. Your body uses sweat to cool itself off. However, on humid days, your body doesn't efficiently rid itself of sweat and heat, creating a higher risk of heat stroke.

    This is why I hate summer weather. "Go out and enjoy the weather". ITS FUCKING HOT!!!! How can I enjoy sweating my balls off, having to take 3 showers a day, mosquito's everywhere, humidity, and high temperatures?! FUCK SUMMER! 😡

    I don't have the same experience. On "hot, sweaty days" polyester or other synthetics make me feel hotter because they don't breathe as well as 100% cotton. The exception is when the synthetic-composed shirt is literally thinner and tighter in fit compared to an average cotton shirt.

  • @ianh1504
    @ianh1504 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Because we regulate our heat by sweating, when the sweat evaporates it carries heat away with it, in humid climes the sweat cant evaporate as easily and the heat stays.
    i honestly thought everyone with a ninth grade education knew that.

    0:22 That is wrong. Sweating is controlled by the brain. Sweating occurs when the hypothalamus (human body's thermostat) in the brain activates sweat glands to release sweat so that the sweat can evaporate and cool the body.

      I used to live in tropical region and the reason it feels so hot in northern country because the buildings and infrastructure are not meant to cool people who live inside. In tropical area the house can easily be cool down without AC but in the northern hemisphere homes were built with insulation in mind, so during the summer the heat can't escape. Also many places including schools and public transport have no AC unlike hot and humid country
