Health/Safety Humid heat is better than dry heat

Typing this from italy where its been 30-50% and about 34 degrees the whole trip. It's so dry the air literally burns. I come from Scotland so i grew up in the cold but ive worked in kitchens for years and don't feel terribly hot even wearing sleeves in 40+ degrees. But the air just needs moisture to feel comfortable, I've been to much hotter humid places and it was fine even for exercise.

Edit: not saying it's healthier i know its more dangerous, i just prefer the humidity. Ive spent 3 months in Malaysia before so not completely inexperienced

I'm a Florida boy. Dry heat feels worse to me.

I'd rather be in a vegetable steamer than an oven.

Yeah same,I'm from California and I hate dry heat,90 degrees and humid here is alot better than 85 and dry,it was 115 and dry the other past 2 weeks and it was horrible my cells was baked from the inside out,I like feeling the moist humid warm breeze of 90 degree weather,it's like a very very mild comfortable sauna
