What about in high humidity?

Here in the Southeast (Southern Alabama) USA, the humidity is near or at 100%, which means you sweat but nothing evaporates even with a fan. Then heatstroke happens.

People used to survive here because houses where built with large tall windows and a porch over them or sunshades. You built under shady spots or by water and shade. And of course, most hard work was limited. Today, modern housing is built with AC in mind, and can get extremely hot and humid inside without AC. Same thing for office buildings, like glass enclosed towers.

These people need to live here for just ONE Summer, and they’ll change their tune!
