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

977 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!?

Because if you’re even as far “north” as Atlanta, you’re in Northern Africa. Sahara level of sun going around. Add to that the immense humidity that impedes you as you can’t shed moisture (sweat) into the air.
