Open-air sauna

Today, it was arguably the hottest and most humid day I have ever experienced. Not only was it 34 degrees, this was at 60% humidity. This resulted in a humidex of 46 degrees. Sure, I have been in hotter air temperatures than 34 degrees (e.g. Southwest US), but not at this level of humidity. Nevertheless my friends, it felt like an open-air sauna!! Fortunately, a massive thunderstorm with some incredible lightning (no pics unfortunately) brought some cooling down, so that I go to sleep at a humidex of only 35 degrees.
It may surprise you, but I get annoyed by air-conditioners in such heat. When I entered the supermarket early this afternoon, it felt like getting "an icepick in the forehead". It was bloody cold!! After getting used to that and having done the groceries, I walked home again only to feel the humidity even more profoundly. Therefore, as long as I can keep my place comfortable enough with fans, they are the way to go.
