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

963 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!?

It’s hot and really humid, which makes the air feel so thick and makes it hotter when in shade vs. being in the shade in a low humidity heat.

More humidity makes the transfer of heat to your body easier than if the air is dry.
