#the temp may say 98 but once humidity is factored in (which is called wet bulb temp) it’s actually 120

god i miss autumn so badddd. it’s not even may and the humidity and heat is unbearable i hate it here!!! i’m dreading the summer so fucking bad
#like summer is so horrible here that i’m dreading being outside long enough to get in the car and drive to work#i kmow that sounds pathetic but in the span of seconds my glasses are fogged up by humidity and my entire face becomes sweaty and oily#within seconds it’s like i didn’t just take a shower#heat is already one of my worst sensory issues so this is like daily torture for me#it also means i absolutely cannot wear long pants or i will faint in the heat. so i have to subject everyone to my gross thighs#luckily i have a lot of dresses but i can’t find any shorts that are a reasonable length. i feel so awkward with a 3 inch inseam#which becomes a half inch inseam when you sit down#the summer here is so bad it honestly gives me yearlong anxiety just in anticipation#you know when you step out of a hot shower and the room is really heavy bc of the humidity and steam? thats EXACTLY what it feels like daily#i’m not even remotely exaggerating#it’s suffocating#and it’s Dangerous dude. heat exhaustion and heat stroke are So Common#i read an article semi recently about how subtropic areas will become inhabitable within a few decades#like southern asia and the deep south etc#not bc of the heat alone but bc of the humidity bc it becomes so hard to breathe#the temp may say 98 but once humidity is factored in (which is called wet bulb temp) it’s actually 120#there’s visible steam in the air everyday it’s just fucking hellacious#it’s already begun and i’m just so unhappy. i could cry#psychobabble
