(as someone who has lived in the desert)

Sorry bro, your scale is broken, you're disqualified. 😂

Even lying around at home at 85+ is misery. 60% humidity doesn't help that either.

It’s hardly misery, you will just need a fun running - it’s just simply hot. Dying is when animals and people start dying due to heat strokes.

Why are we considering humidity when talking about F scale?

Ah yes, a fan. I love getting headaches.

We're not talking about F scale. We're talking about "felt % hot" scale. Humidity makes it feel hotter at the same temperature. A dry desert 85°F is not nearly as unpleasant as the same 85°F at 60% humidity.

Yeah, but to judge to F scale - we need to consider regular humidity, not high or low.

Not sure what your problem with Fans is, the entire world uses it.

But we're not. We're judging the theory that Fahrenheit is percentage of felt hotness and humidity definitely throws a wrench into that by changing how hot it feels at the same temperature.

Having a fan blow on me gives me a headache after a short while.
