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

975 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!?

tl;dr: 90° F at 100% humidity feels roughly the same as 130° F at 10% humidity, or 120° F at 20% humidity..
