Why are summers in the Southern US States so brutally hot?

979 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

I’m not from this area of the country, but I have experienced some really hot summers in other parts of the US. But nothing really compares to this weather. It is unbearable in every way. I feel like I need a shower just sitting here and dehydration is inevitable.

Why is it so brutal here!?

Humidity in a good chunk of the US is high enough that it would turn into a tropical zone if we didnt have low winter seasonal temps.

This is why in addition to my central air, I have a dedicated AC for my bedroom, and a supplementary dehumidifer in the other part of the house just to keep the air indoors dry, and I have to empty that fucking thing twice a day in the summer.
