why sometimes heat in summer is unbearable at home, but pretty fine on vacation

Question

On warm summer days, why is it, that when you have something like 33°C (91,4° F) it is nearly unbearable at home, but a whole other story when on vacation. Is it just a climatic thing? A psychological effect?

Answer 1

Almost certainly humidity.

You cool down by evaporating sweat.

The lower the humidity is, the easier your sweat evaporates making you feel cooler even though the temperature is the same.
